What a screwed up rule .. so someone in the crowd can hold the ball until the goal kickers time has lapsed…another bizarre rule 🤦🏻
Is always been that way, don't kick the fucking ball into the crowd. Johnny Wilkinson the cheat, used dry balls for his conversions on this very ground during RWC. You gotta use the same ball

Like MP says, if players don't know the rule, they're bloody stupid. Never understood why players ditch the ball after that law was brought in.

Do you have to use the same ball that the try was scored with to kick the conversion?

Yes since before 2011 RWC for sure

As I mentioned above, England team member for fined for supplying Wilkinson with nice dry balls during 2011

Can remember a league test in Palmerston North where the ball went missing for about 3 or 4 minutes ..

Didn't read your post above. Makes sense why they have to use the same ball. I was wondering what the point of that rule was

Jesus's that's ridiculous
Upright in the tackle 🤣 what a load of shit - he almost fell over!
-
What's he supposed to do with the sudden change of direction etc? ... But YC for consistency in this day and age...

they almost ran out! None were coming back to the game

I don't like that reasoning, the answer is not make a dangerous tackle. However if a guy nearly falling over is considered upright then there's something wrong.
-
The Force kicker looks a bit 'special' when he kicks for goal.

@Mattasaurus If you arent in a position to make a safe tackle you don't make a tackle, obviously.
