Brumbies v Chiefs
-
<p>Cracking game of footy so far, great work by the Chiefs late in the half.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Brumbies building well, just need to tighten their defence in midfield. Cruden, McKenzie and Ngatai picking out slow forwards and punishing them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can't see the issues with the ref, setting a good standard and letting the game flow.</p> -

<br>
I don't think he is moving towards the ball so I don't know why they can start running. -
Cruden NgÄtai Lowe McKenzie. Rugby porn in recent weeks. <br><br>
I wonder if Lowe has any chance of higher honours?? -

<br>
Is that the law? I think every ref so far has let players charge at him on his first step. -

<p>You have your Oz goggles on so you don't notice it.

Yup I'm fairly certain the kicker has to be moving towards the ball before they can start running. Can anyone clarify the exact law? -

<p>You can't charge until the kicker 'begins to approach to kick.'</p> -

<p>I thought you couldn't go back before the last ruck?</p>

<p>It's two rucks, I believe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the whole thing is a bit of a joke. McKenzie could have just taken the kick quickly because once the kick is taken they can't go back and check.</p> -
You can argue that the backwards step is part of his "approach". Needs to change that, no point giving them a chance.

<p>Many refs decide a player has started to kick when he does a stutter step before actually approaching the ball.</p>
