This video shows some weird, confusing, even bizarre rugby laws and there interpretations. These strange and funny rugby moments are all related to laws you don't see used that often and hence confuse players, commentators and even referees and their assistants! Hope you enjoyed the video and let me know in the comments if you want to see a part 2.
0:16 The ball is knocked on by the Toulon no. 2 which means that the ball has been played and the ruck is over. Therefore there is no offside and Connor Murray (since he was onside to begin with when the ball was knocked on) can come around the ruck and put the ball down. Try given.
What I still don’t understand about this clip is why would the try not be awarded if it wasn’t a knock on surely the Toulon player still played the ball?
1:50 Since the Dragons didn’t engage in the contact with the Munster forwards no maul was formed. The Munster pack didn’t move at all and kept the ball at the front meaning that the lineout wasn’t actually over! Therefore, offside rules still applied and if the Dragons forward moved at all towards the Munster pack it is a penalty!
2:34 No maul was formed again here and since the ball was moved to the back of the Bath forwards it was deemed to have left the lineout and Vunipola can take the ball off the ball carrier.
2:50 Law 18.2 (e) “A try is scored when an attacking player… Who is in touch or touch-in-goal, grounds the ball in the opponents’ ingoal provided the player is not holding the ball”. So a player can be fully in touch but as long as he isn’t holding the ball and just grounds the ball a try is given!
3:05 Law 20.16 “As soon as the kicker initiates movement to kick, the opposing team may charge and try to prevent the free-kick being taken by tackling the kicker or to block the kick.”
Law 20.17 “If the opposing team charge fairly and prevent the free-kick being taken, the kick is disallowed. Play restarts with a scrum at the mark with the opposing team throwing in.”
3:20 Law 18.2 (b) tells us that the ball is not in touch or touch-in-goal if “a player jumps, from within or outside the playing area, and catches the ball, and then lands in the playing area, regardless of whether the ball reached the plane of touch.
3:46 Hurdling has been deemed dangerous and should be sanctioned with a penalty kick. In both instances no sanction was given.
4:22 Law 15.18 The ruck ends and play continues when the ball leaves the ruck or when the ball in the ruck is on or over the goal line.
4:52 Law 18.37 “The lineout ends when: a. The ball or a player in possession of the ball: iii. goes beyond the 15-metre line.
4:54 Law 8.25 “Any player who intentionally touches the ball in an attempt to prevent a penalty goal being scored is illegally touching the ball.
