yes do away with video refs.... but if we have to have them only allow replays at full speed. and the video ref to be a coach,s call and only 2 per game. lose one if your call is proved wrong.

A try is scored when:– (a) a player first grounds the ball in his opponents’ in-goal, provided that he is not in touch or touch in-goal or on or over the dead ball line. (b) opposing players simultaneously ground the ball in the in-goal area provided that the attacking player is not in touch or touch in-goal or on or over the dead ball line. Sliding try (c) a tackled player’s momentum carries him into the opponents’ in-goal where he grounds the ball even if the ball has first touched the ground in the field of play but provided that when the ball crosses the goal line the player is not in touch or touch in-goal or on or over the dead ball line. www.therfl.co.uk/clientdocs/rugb ... 2007_%20(2).pdf Incidently the argument about if it was in the field of play it would be a knock on is irrelevent as the very act of placing the ball on the ground and letting go (for scoring a try) would be a knock on anywhere else on the pitch.

Am i right in thinking that you can't be deemed to have passed a ball forward and you can't be offside within the in goal area. I may be wrong.

No try for me.

A forward pass in the in-goal area is an infringement, obviously with the restart differing depending on whether it's your own or your opponent's.

You can't be offside in your own in-goal area.
