Long Wheel Base Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 HmmmmI follow a few of the players from both teams on twitter and the AB guys(as well as the teams account) had only good things to say about the BOKKE and Japan as a host. England-NOTHING. I guess we been slating them and their dance the last week but at least they were good sportsman afterwards.
barrykm Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Shameful display not wearing their medals..!!
LongDonkey Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 What is Det Katsumoto from Magnum PI (reboot) doing in the background?

Shebeen Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 If they moan about that first try bring a forward pass...I watched on English tv and even the commentators had no doubts about the try. There was one incident where we were lucky I think and that was early on when Eben was left isolated and he held on for a bit too long.... But that was itummmm. unfortunately very few people know what a forward actually is these days, and that's including the refs, TMO and commentators. Wayne Barnes pulled back one in the 3rd place game...totally backwards from the player, and cost Smith a hatrick PsdT/took a deflection off Handre Pollard and it ended up being a penalty for accidental offsided, was definitely backwards, cost 3 points.
Stretch Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 ummmm. PsdT/took a deflection off Handre Pollard and it ended up being a penalty for accidental offsided, was definitely backwards, cost 3 points.I was wondering about that myself.. Never got another look at it.. So accepted the decision
dev null Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 I was wondering about that myself.. Never got another look at it.. So accepted the decision They will make it much easier to determine if a pass was forward if they change the definition of a forward pass. The fact that they take the speed of the passing player in consideration makes the judgement call much more difficult. How do a ref determine if the forward movement of the ball was more or less than the speed of the player. I simply do not buy into the movement out of hand and the position of the hands as the determining factor. I think they should go back to no forward movement of the ball over the ground at all as a determining factor if a pass was forward or not. It makes the ref's job much easier and leaves no space for a bad judgement call by the TV refs.
Patchelicious Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Woke up this morning, and one of the first things I saw on my phone was a picture of our captain. It literally made me want to get up and be a better person. Leaders inspiring people makes a difference!

Capricorn Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 So player passing the ball and player receiving should stand still?yep, that's the only way physics will allow his suggestion.Moridin, i think you need to brush up on your understanding of relative motion
dev null Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 So player passing the ball and player receiving should stand still? No man, just throw the ball more towards the back. The ball will travel the same speed as the passer, but then the receiver must get the ball on the same line when the ball was passed. This is not rocket science.
dev null Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 yep, that's the only way physics will allow his suggestion.Moridin, i think you need to brush up on your understanding of relative motion I understand it quite well. It is the refs that sometimes struggles with this. All I am suggesting is a way to remove any ambiguity in the calls made.

I'm sure that was the rule originally, and then in about 1923 they realised how silly it was if you wanted to run and pass at the same time.

All I am suggesting is a way to remove any ambiguity in the calls made.well, i understand your desire for simplification, but outside of the passer standing deadstill, it's not easily possible given that the forward speed vector is often many times higher than any rearward vector.

I'm sure that was the rule originally, and then in about 1923 they realised how silly it was if you wanted to run and pass at the same time. But that was how we played it at school. (ok, must admit, it was not much later than 1923 )The ball receiver had to be behind the guy passing it at the time he receives the ball, otherwise it was deemed forward.
