Jonathan Joseph against Toulon

[@jamesbrawn5458]

Tenuous and vague one, but Mark Jones scored a bizarre one for the Scarlets v ?Treviso? In the late 00s. He was tackled and not held, but his forwards cleared out over the top. But as no Treviso player initiated the ruck (old laws), and Jones hadn’t been tackled, he got to his feet and emerged from the mass of bodies and sprinted for the corner. Try was given, but looked bizarre. There is also an Arwel Thomas try for Swansea v ?Newport? around 2001. Both teams assumed there was a break in play so huddled. Thomas and the referee were on their own, and he took it quickly. Running in unopposed. As he hadn’t indicated he was going for goal, he could still take a tap penalty. It was just bizarre as the other 29 players had huddled up. Sorry, extremely tenuous, I’d be amazed if you found either of these!

[@Matt_Alaric]

3:33 He's clearly in touch.

[@mattdickie4696]

That's a shocking call.

[@callonmansam]

I'm really confused by 4:00. So a player from the Rays grounded the ball behind their own line, but they awarded a try to the Stars even though there wasn't an attacking player anywhere near the ball? That's insane

[@AndrewDavidForde]

Crazy isn’t it!

[@fw9498]

It's just a mistake by the ref😂

[@christeebs]

Yellow shoulder on the Rays' uniform meant he was confused for a Stars player. Real stuff up

Did that player at least got the try awarded on the score sheet?

I was at that Ospreys/Benetton game, it was all rather surreal for a couple of minutes then we all had a bit of a cheer. He was in touch though.

[@Snookbone]

That Sydney Stars try is a great argument for kit clash rules in rugby being a lot stricter. And also for referees to be goddamn competent, jeez now with Owens retiring there are like three

Andrew Forde making some excellent videos recently keep it up. Would it be possible if you could you do a video about Japan Top League Rugby as last season showed a great brand of rugby and it would be cool to see a compilation of it

[@andrewjcameron1]

Andrew - Chris Henry try against Ospreys May 2016. Ospreys have a defensive ruck on their line, scrumhalf rolls it back to set up a box kick - he rolls the ball onto the try line, Chris Henry dives through and touches it down.

[@freddienoble566]

2:53 why would you do that. Just why. Fair play to the 10 getting back

[@goddam9925]

Very good part two please cant wait !

[@trainedbysage4208]

That first try is genuinely Top ten Best tries ever

[@williamf.7655]

2'45: this happened during european cup final. Since we called in french rugby this kind of error : "une poitrenade" as this Clement Poitreneaud who made this mistake. He was 22 years old BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS the reaction of all the team (trainer, paettners, including the captain): Nobody heap on him (french verb "accabler") The following year He wins with Tolouse another european cup. When he retired (2016), he was the player on the top 5 of the most important number of game in the european cup (96), and won 3 time of this cup. fr.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/poitrenade

[@just-dl]

Don’t heap. That’s excellent! Thank you for that.

[@callofdutygameplay996]

You need the try of Beauxis vs Bath. Surely.

[@dannywhite132]

question: if you have a penalty can you kick for the corner and have a team mate score catch it and a try? or do you have to at least attempt for the posts?

[@karlkavanagh4723]

I vaguely recall it being done in an old Wales game. Vannes tried it recently in a D2 game against Angouleme but it was disallowed for unsporting conduct....World Rugby law 8.20: If the team indicates to the referee the intention to kick at goal, they must kick at goal. The intention to kick can be communicated to the referee or signalled by the arrival of the kicking tee or sand, or when the player makes a mark on the ground....A sly dog maneouvre would need to be carefully orchestrated not to anagonise the ref.

[@just-dl]

The law about this seems clear on the subject of intent, but I expect some refs would let it slide.

[@apgwilym]

Wonderful!

[@finngunter1322]

Thought the Connor Murray try vs Toulon would be on here.

[@rocketrugby7963]

Yeah what a try

[@avalsirithanawat1772]

3:33 Try is valid. It’s a small detail in the law book. Try is only disallowed when attacking ball carrier held the ball into try zone. If the ball is already in the try zone, by for example a kick, a player can score a try even if they are in touch during grounding.

[@tylerreeks839]

Excuse me I’m a newcomer to the sport, at 1:06 would this be a try even though the guy in the red jersey didn’t gain control of the ball?

[@Tuckersluckier]

Yes, this would be a try... Control of the ball in a try is any amount of downward pressure from the hand onto the ball. So a try can be awarded with even the smallest contact of a fingertip.

That one. Has some similarities, but it’s a stretch. Where are all the other “multiple” examples?

[@AndrewDavidForde]

@@davidw4970 Hyperbole lad, hyperbole. Biarritz' try vs Colomiers on Thursday to win the game is another good example. Good analysis of the try, I'd also add that the fullback slowly jogs to the ball while it's in the in-goal area, long before the winger is anywhere near it. However, my point is, if you can accept that the try I mentioned above is not an advert of men's rugby (professional rugby as well by the way), then how is one try in one match (look at the scoreline, the team conceding clearly have a tendency to concede) an advert for women's rugby?
