Those 5 drop goals remind me that when rugby was invented, the whole point was to get into a position to score goals. A try was only worth one point, and the main point of scoring one was to be in a position to take the conversion. That is why it was called a "try" - you could try to take the kick. 5 drop goals you would be the hero.

[@tonylittle3508]

Also, I would make the point that if I comment on something that happened a thousand years ago, all it means is that I can read history, does not make me Methusalah. But yeah, i do have first hand recollection of actual rucking, and the five eigths kicking out in full anywhere for field position, and tries being worth 4 points (or was it 3?), so I am quite old. Nobody wants to get old, but if you don't die before then, that is what happens.

Naas Botha's five drop goals were better I think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp3Vd3uaYqp7hKc Yes, it wasn't a RWC, but it was the most important tournament in SA in those days and both sides were packed with Springboks. The big difference for me, is that (a) they were taken more in open play i.e less organised (not waiting on a call in the pocket) (b) the old leather ball.

[@tashurst1]

[@NotThatOneThisOne]

Can't remember that. At a guess, I'd say Moriarty (the younger)?

[@MarkWhippy]

One I can remember was Auckland vs Canterbury 2002. Canterbury kick the ball too far, Carlos Spencer watches as the ball rolls into their in goal area as Andrew Merhtens approaches. Carlos steps on the ball with his foot, acting as though that counts as forcing the ball. Then he casually picks the ball up and walks towards the 22, like he’s going to take a drop out. Merhtens falls for it and turns his back on Carlos, walking back to the 22. As soon as Andrew turns around Carlos runs and continues play, because you can’t force the ball with your foot 😅 Another one was with Adrian Cashmore for Auckland, in 99 I think. Auckland had a penalty 10m out or something like that. For some reason everyone assumed he was taking a shot at goal. The opposition team turned their backs expecting a shot at goal. Cashmore taps the ball and walks over for a try. Can’t remember who it was against.

Had a bit too much pressure on the boys over the last few years to always go for a try when just punting one over and resetting would have been a better option. That said, I don't want it to become the default option. It's not in our DNA though so should be OK.

No it's cheating and a yellow card offence!

[@wanluqman9539]

can someone explain tf going on at 6:13 England vs Italy???

[@charleskantolinna3581]

Before they changed the rules the offside line at a ruck would only be formed once a player from either side compete. Italy don’t compete at the ruck, therefore there’s no offside line. As long as they don’t play the 9 (illegal) they can stand anywhere they want

[@Gethin_Duggan]

No, I am not the coach.

[@lukastonner811]

Italy found a loop hole in the rules. The loop hole was that the offside line is created when a ruck is formed. Italy put nobody into the ruck which means there is no ruck and therefore no offside line. Since then the rules have been changed and the offside line is created when a tackle is made.

I thought it was pretty clever. But I expected England to have a response after half time.

WRU286 literally the only reason if jones hadn’t of complained it would never have changed that season

[@janatle]

why they tend to run into the center of the scorearea to score? Why not just run straight into the area and then score?

[@peterwalker1327]

The conversion kick is taken from a point in line with where the ball is touched down, so the closer to the center the better the chance for the kicker to get the extra 2 points

[@paulthomson2288]

there were more Irish players formed in the line out well before the ball was thrown. the lineout had formed so by definition it was not a quick line out. The Irish were just too slow to react. That's international rugby. Haha

[@keithorbell8946]

As an England supporter, it wasn’t a try. The line out hadn’t formed at all. If Johnathon “I’m even more one-eyed than Eddie Butler” Davies reckoned it wasn’t a try, then Ireland should probably have been awarded a Penalty Try instead 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stevenmcalister826]

If it’s a regular line out then the throw wasn’t straight. You can’t bullshit your way out of this one, it’s not a try no matter what way you slice it.

_Is it illegal to block a penalty going over the posts by using a lifter?_ 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Cryolemon]

I think it is *now*.
