Correcting myself here...it's a 20 metre re-start, not a goal line drop out


But the question still stands, would it have been a 20 metre re-start if the ball hit the flag before he scraped the touch-line ??

...so it didn't really happen then ??

Only kidding, it did. or did it

it did and its happening again this morning right now

I have a genuine question on the rules here.

When Cas did the short kick off and it didn’t go 10. It looked to hit the Cas players foot/leg before it went 10 then bounce back over the 10. I thought as it touched a Cas player it would be a penalty. I was a little confused by that. It led to their only points I believe.

So if it doesn’t go 10 then can the team who kicked off touch it but not the receiving team?

No, if it doesn't go 10 metres then no-one can touch it, otherwise it is a penalty to the other team.

We've just watched it again and that is wrong....Miller shakes hands with Radford and they hug, then the identical then happens with Poching...no difference whatsoever

Yes made a point of watching it again and you are correct he got a hug from both coaches, difference being and it's probably where I got confused he got a smile from Radders where as you'd have thought Willie was the losing coach with the lack of any emotion on his face, maybe he was dreading some sort of questions from her on that score.

Maybe it was a satisfaction type grin from Miller to the coach of the club who released him?

Considering Willie didn't crack a smile for Fifita's try I'm thinking he was trying to keep his emotions in check.

Remember when they did the same with TJ after we'd beaten dirty leeds - asking him if he should be playing for a "bigger club!"
TJ gave Arthur short shrift!

As long as he plays like he did on Friday, to me that's all that matters. He played like he wanted us to win
