Do you mean 'all of the ball', or just 'some of the ball"? For a try, or touch, it's enough that just part of the ball touches part of the line. I'm sure I've seen it played on in the past when it was obvious the whole ball had crossed the line - were the ref team getting it wrong the, or has the law been changed at some point?

It's an interesting point, we always see that happen when the ball has clearly crossed the line. Be interesting if any refs on here can shed some light

World Rugby law 18. 2.a states
The ball is not in touch or touch-in-goal if it reaches the plane of touch but is caught, knocked or kicked by a player who is in the playing area. Now that makes me think that the ball must actually land on or over the line, rather than above the line if that makes sense?

The players feet have to land on the field of play for this tactic to work. The Shark wing was allowed to play on when his foot had touched the line, one of many calls the reffing team got wrong. (Unless the interpretation of this law has changed?).

Was Tom Rogers 'in play', or was he over the touchline when he knocked it back in ? He was definitely in the air when he played it.

That's exactly it. Most famous proponent of this was Tomos Williams for Wales v Oz in the Rugby World Cup in 2019. Edited by ScarletBear - 28 March 2023 at 5:30am |

Brilliant - we are looking semi well oiled. The town will be buzzing let’s hope it’s a sell out Friday And a big word for the new man on the mic. Great effort, the best since we lost our beloved Thommo. The man on the mic was Rhys Jones, actor formerly on Pobol Y Cwm and good friends with Emyr Wyn, who earlier in the day was on comms for Viaplay for the Ospreys-Dragons URC match.

That is an excellent clip, and possibly a definitive answer. Tomos W. is standing inside the touchline... the ball clearly crosses the line by miles (OK, a metre or so)... Tomos jumps over the touchline and while still in the air deflects it backwards into the field of play, but lands outside it without catching the ball. That was allowed... I think it was the other way around with Tom R. - was standing outside the field of play when the ball was kicked, jumped in the air, deflected the ball backwards inside... but presumably touch because he was in touch when his jump started. I'd need to check the recording to be sure, though!

Gatland was in Swansea on Saturday to check out the Welsh players in the Ospreys v Dragons game. Does anyone know if he then took the very short journey west to watch the Welsh players in the Scarlets v Sharks game?

Well Moriarty certainly made an impression after his recent press interview.

Silly boy, really bad effort by Dragons illegally targeting the Osprey 10.

He might have been in a hospitality box out of sight of the cameras although that’s pure and unadulterated guesswork.

if he was there he surely saw the 9 10 12 possibly 13 and 11 to start the first game of World Cup but I won’t hold my breath.

I'm sure on S4C they spoke to Johnathan Thomas during the match so I'd guess he was there as proxy. I might've misheard the name though.

I'm sure I heard someone say the Welsh coaches were there, taking in their second game of the day.
