I don't get the reason for this negative rule as the Administrators of the game are always talking about more game time /live action and tempo. Who on earth felt this sort of scenario merited attention of a restrictive nature? It's very odd. Needs review.

The more I think about the implications of this incident the more I think that the IRB need to clarify it asap.
I sincerely hope that someone is on the case. |

I've noticed quite a few 'knock ons' saved by the backward flick pass, just like this one in recent international matches and the ref just plays on. Has anything changed since the the Parks incident or is everyone else just ignoring it?

This just happened again in the France v Italy game, around the 13 minute mark. Ball slipped out of the French player's hand and he tapped it back without 'gaining control'. Ref didn't even blink; play on. Commentators said no problem. The only time I've ever seen a ref blow up for this was when Parkes did it in 2017.

Same in Ireland Women v Wales Women today. Irish player knocked the ball forward in the tackle, regathered and it was fed out of the ruck and it led to an Irish try.

Pretty sure there has been a law change regarding juggling the ball forward and regathering it since the original post

IIRC, Parkes didn't regather the ball. He tapped it backwards to a Scarlets player. Juggling is ok as long it is regathered before it touches another player or the floor. That's how I remember the incident, and how I interpret the law on this.

Interesting if RR is correct and there has been a law change.

I think you're right - I remember an incident a few years ago now, when a player juggled a pass up into the air (a bit like Tomos Williams the other day), and kept it up there as he kept on running - he rounded a defender in that way (who was completely bemused) and went on to either score himself, or offload for a try. It looked totally wrong and unfair, but the try stood!
