Forward passes

[mol2]

Just watched some of the C5 highlights of the Quins:Bath game.

Just left me wondering how far forward does as pass have to be before the TMO decides it is clear an obvious.

One looked about 45 degrees and was taken about 2 yards ahead.....Yes the TMO said not clear and obvious.

Bring on ball sensors before the game get turned into handball.

And even better if it happens soon after or soon before a player drops the ball, it lands slightly backwards but it gets called knock on...

It was a knock on,he was never in control. It was a joke decision and everyone knows it!

Now, I'm trying to view this through both eyes however, it does seem to me the strongest protagonists of the marginally forward pass and who get away with a lot are Quins followed by Northampton and Wasps?

Certainly the first two pass the ball more than most so statistically, it probably fits.

That's why ball sensors are essential. Too much scope for interpretation and blatant incompetence.

Likewise the interpretation of a player fumbling and regaining the ball has to be made clear. If the ball is going forwards from a player & touches the grass or another player it will be deemed a knock on unless the ball is clearly held, (not juggled) or has actively been kicked with the boot having been released from both hands. (If dropped in a forward direction from one and an attempted hoof won't be deemed an intentional kick). Forward out of two hands is a real kick. Release from one hand to kick is a loss of control.
