Quote: Anakin Skywalker "So if I read that right.
Team A knock on 3 meters from Team B's line and team B pick the ball up.
Team B then run up field and then knock on themselves in the act of scoring without a tackle being made and they still get a scrumdown 3 meters from their own line.
I can see that going well!!'"
I was originally told the rule would be that once the ball was passed from the player picking it up to a team mate that advantage would be iver. Ie - team a knock on and player 1 picks up for team b. He has the advantage until he passes to player 2. Should player 2 knock on then team a get the feed at the scrum.
Obviously they've tweaked that slightly but the length of the advantage is still an issue I think. If team b go 80 yards and lose possession in the act of scoring, then the video ref decision if it was called for would be scrum defence as team b were in their own halfwhen tbe incident occured (or so I was told by a referee).
