@gunner said in Highlanders vs Lions:
He refs have well and truly bottled that
Sounded like the TMO had no clue what to do, and just told the ref what happened. I've no bloody idea if an inadvertant touch puts people in front of the kicker onside -- but they just ruled that if you don't play at it, it doesn't~

@Damo will probably be able to clear this up, but I think the falcon ruling is right, if the player is not playing at it.
However, it should have been a penalty and YC.
When did not playing at it start creeping into rugby?

The laws state that:
A player offside under Law 10.4c cannot be put onside by any action of an opponent, apart from a charge down.
Except if an opponent intentionally touches the ball (which is the same thing).

Oh right, cheers. Does being offside and running into the path of the ball constitute 'intentionally touching the ball'?

@damo thats a bullshit explanation, its not like the halfback passed the ball intentionally into the offside player. The offside player had plenty time to get out of the way. If the ball hits him its intentional because he got there intentionally

That whole play was Hammington's own fault. If Hammington had not passed the ball into the Lions player he would have got the penalty anyway. He tried to milk the penalty and did not get it. It's unsportsmanlike to deliberately play for a penalty IMO so I don't have much sympathy when you don't get the call. If the other team are offside play proper rugby and let the ref make the calls. Otherwise half backs do that sort of thing all night.

@hydro11
No
The Lion was solely responsible and did so with purpose.
There was a huge overlap and the pass reflected that.We witnessed a tmo melt down
He gave no recommendation and replaying the grounding over and over, then agreeing no try was telling

10.4 c relates to the 10m law, which is not the case here. However that's not really relevant here.

The clan are getting away with forward passes all over the show .... then that lineout wasn't straight ....
Yep, although, you could possibly give the TMO a pass for that not stepping on the line that Sumo keeps going on about - he was obscured by Sopoaga a bit and probably looked like a foot would have to be out from that.
