Well the knock-on law says this: A knock-on occurs when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the origin...

Played in 2013-14 - scored 2 tries, home and away against Perpignan.
Also in 2011-12 - scored 3 tries, 1 against Connacht and 2 against Toulouse.

So he's got a decent record of scoring against French teams.

Re: Double jeopardy - penalty try and sin binning

You could argue that if a penalty try has been given, then the player's actions have not "prevented a try being scored". In fact, it would be true to say that the player's actions have actually caused a try to be scored, which is quite the opposite. Therefore, according to the law, no yel...

The wording of Law 10.2(a) Unfair Play - Intentionally Offending is: A penalty try must be awarded if the offence prevents a try that would probably otherwise have been scored.

Hope he's not up the M1 a few junctions!!!
The rumours (to be found in various places online) suggest that he is leaving to go to Sarries.
