You tube “ total rugby forward pass “ not sure how to post link!
Hopefully will educate a few.

are you for real, every comment you make that make takes hole your digging even deeper

It wasnt a forward pass guys. Theres no momentum rule, the law cant be changed, its basic physics. The ball comes out of the hands backwards from a player running at speed. The direction of the ball in relation to the ground is irrelevant. Alex Sutcliffe passed it backwards. Here it is in black and white.

Direction of Pass 1. The direction of a pass is relative to the player making it and not to the actual path relative to the ground. A player running towards his opponents’ goal line may throw the ball towards a colleague who is behind him but because of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground. This is not a forward pass as the thrower has not
passed the ball forward in relation to himself. This is particularly noticeable when a running player makes a high, lobbed pass.

This

so using that theory you can have a player 45 deg to the try line and he throws it back but still it goes forward relative to the pitch and its not a forward pass

Its not a theory. Its the law.

When a ball that has been passed 5 metres forward is not deemed to be a forward pass then there is something wrong with the rules of our game, surely if not a forward pass it would be classed as a knock on? The ball has been thrown to the floor and gone 5 metres forward Lol.

that only seems to come from rhino fans, so will always be known on as rhino's law

Haha, Its from the RFL website, laws of the game.

Rugby Football LEEDS eh

If you watch the youtube clip mentioned it shows an example of a player running forwards, throwing the ball backwards over his head yet the ball still travels 2m forward from where it was released. Its really not that hard to comprehend.

And how hard is it to comprehend that I think that a ball that has gone 5 metres forward from the passer of the ball to the receiver should be deemed to be a forward pass?

If you read my post again, it`s a pop at the rule book not this one isolated decision hence my comment that there is something wrong with the rules of our game?
