You'd really think professional scrum halves would know there's no offside line when the ball is on or beyond the tryline

[@christycullen2355]

I always thought it was as soon as two hands touched the ball. You learn new things every day

[@FentyBoi123]

It’s when he picks the ball up

[@luckyspurs]

Kicking to avoid a knock-on is genius.

[@philg2967]

Great one I remember from about 20 years ago was Ulster winning a penalty near the 10m line. David Humphreys took off his scrum cap as he always did before kicking. Opposition retreated to face the kick and he tapped and sprinted into the corner. Not sure there would be any footage of it anymore but it was quick thinking

[@SlayerGF]

That first clip is for me, the best finish ever, another great compilation Andrew!

[@marsimus13]

it’s so funny because teddy thomas either makes the stupidest decisions ever, or drops masterclasses like these. such a fun and frustrating player to watch

[@rogerhawkins6433]

Excellent compilation. Well done to the editor! Thank you. RH 🇳🇿

[@CianMcCabe98]

4:27 I love it

[@RhysOlwyn]

I love that header from the Bridgend fullback

[@makeperceive]

You're on form, Andrew

[@thatsabigoof509]

Wow, the PBHS vs Affies game gets a feature! Awesome!

[@koji6714]

Mad to think the first none pro game clip was a game at my old club and the player Blackers was the scorer

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

I'm really not sure how I feel about diving over the ruck being legal, but this is a great compilation - lovely mix of good knowledge of the laws and excellent heads up rugby

[@luobomu9747]

I see it as jumping to avoid a tackle, which is against the law, but I understand it's become a bit of a gray area.

[@GRB-tj6uj]

If the ball is on the line there is no ruck, just a random pile of players

[@charlottescott7150]

thanks for explaining the rules too

[@maxg.2636]

I keep reading that "there is no offside line in the in-goal" but that's a misleading shortcut. A ruck or a maul can only take place in the field of play, thus not in-goal. Hence when the ball goes over or beyond the try line, the ruck/maul ends and a player can go "around" it to touch down the ball. However, you do have offside line in open play in the in-goal. Meaning is a player was to start running in front of the kicker in-goal, he *would* be offside.

[@GRB-tj6uj]

There may be a lot to say about referees but I will never not be amazed by professional rugby players nor knowing the laws governing the thing they do on a daily basis.

[@Ausin204]

Kudos to the warriors

[@luckyspurs]

Reminder that when Etzebeth does do illegal things he knows they're illegal.

[@phereakazoid]

We, newly converts to rugby, would appreciate any explanations to the more "complicated" and rare situations. e.g. over the ruck dive try & no lineout throw in?

[@maverick4177]

Not the 1st time i have seen a Welshman looked confused…..isn’t it

[@larvlalo9773]

9:31 I always wonder how the video or touch referees don't see such obvious fouls. Seriously, the screen on Imhoff is incredible! It's not that difficult to see such a blatant foul!

[@Noah20]

Clueless lad he isn’t intentionally blocking which is fine😊

[@larvlalo9773]

@@Noah20 Not intentionally ? Are u watching the same vids ?

[@Rasperdan]

@@larvlalo9773 He is not obliged to move out of the way but he does take a step. Also the no 13 is holding back the other white player.... he is stopping the man contesting before the throw in, so you might have a point.

[@didierdidier1613]

Ollivon vs England

[@MGoose66]

4:00 can not be a try - juggling the ball is surely deemed to be in possession. What if I throw it over a defenders head and catch it again, can I avoid being tackled?

[@mariadanielalavia8877]

the law says that you can't lose control of the ball. although I think this is seen as an attempt to actually catch the ball (unlike if you idk, throw the ball 10 meters up into the air and try to catch it later)

[@alexandrealekndre5808]

Regarding the Etzebeth try at 0:32, was he allowed to pick the ball up because the scrumhalf's shoulder wasn't in contact with the rest of the maul?

[@mitchellmcintyre5035]

It's because when Sharks 2 hits the ruck, the Harlequins players move forward and Harlequins 1 is only holding on with his forearm. This is not a legal bind, therefore the ball is out and Sharks 4 can pick up the ball.

[@ALL__CAPS]

Its because Joe Marler's shoulder isn't bound

[@alexandrealekndre5808]

I see, thanks everybody! So the 9 isn't required to bind with the ruck? Only the players in it have to?

[@GRB-tj6uj]

​@@alexandrealekndre5808if a player is bound to the ruck they cannot pick up the ball so the 9 isn't even allowed to be bound to the ruck (this law isn't enforced as strictly as it is written)

[@alexandrealekndre5808]

@mitchellmcintyre5035 @ALL__CAPS @GRB-tj6uj thanks a lot for your kind answers it's perfectly clear now, have a great weekend!

[@grahamphillips1285]

At 06:00, should that not be a 5m scrum to Ulster as Williams has grounded the ball on the line?

[@grahamphillips1285]

Same also at 08:45. There must be some law I'm missing.

[@nialldaly9176]

I think there has to be “downward pressure” applied to the ball either by an attacking or defending player for it to be a try / 5m scrum / drop-out. In these cases the referees judged that the scrumhalves weren’t applying downward pressure to the ball, but that the attacking try-scorers did.

[@mariadanielalavia8877]

Same, I remember watching matches most of my life and the referees just deciding it was a 5m scrum even if there was no pressure. But lately in the last 4 years they just decided to consider if there was pressure on the ball. I think it might be done that way in order to avoid more scrums in the games.

[@Budge94]

No surprises, Springboks don't feature any IQ moments

[@777Mattman]

Pretty sure etzabeth is a springbok and features in this video. Also there a number of SA players that feature in here.

[@barthelemymartin7068]

5:02 that one was not valid. Once the side ref marks the spot, you cannot play fast.

[@cooperhughes2659]

If the ball bounces forwards off your chest it’s still a knock on I thought so Laumape’s try should’ve been disallowed no?

[@Trust_me_I_am_an_Engineer]

Forwards off the chest is not a knock on. Read law11 of rugby "laws of the game" .

[@cooperhughes2659]

@@Trust_me_I_am_an_Engineer well then the referees need a bollocking because so many times you see a ball come off a players chest straight between their arms when catching a highball and it gets called a knock on

[@hughjass7676]

Why bro hop on him like that? 💀 6:46

[@TidyBeardedBeanieBoy]

I dont wanna sound dumb, ive watched that etzebeth clip many times, and i still dont understand how he was allowed to do that? Im probably missing something obvious but could someone point it out please? :D

[@geoffreygoynes4589]

If you watch Marler, he’s bound into the ruck by his shoulder, but when the ruck moves slightly he’s no longer fully bound in, so the ball’s out, so Etzebeth nabbed it. Good knowledge of the laws on his part.

[@J13K]

can someone explain 2:05 i thought the ball has to be behind last mans foot

[@harveyperkins]

I also want to know this

[@nialldaly9176]

The ball is no longer considered “in” the ruck, as there is no offside line when the ball is on or over the try line.

[@harveyperkins]

@@nialldaly9176 so what about, if 9 touches the ball (has control) and they have a part of them over try line ?

I only ever watch clips of this sport but never read the rules, can someone explain the rules from some of these clips? Why is it important that one guy dropped the ball on his feet before running after it at 0:03? WTF happened at 0:33? Why is it at 2:03 important that he kept his hands down?

[@Emanuel_-wv7vj]

0:59 Could someone explain me why is this legal?
