http://www.irblaws.com/index.php?law=16.2 If you look at the video for that entry the rule was designed for defenders trying to sneak into an offside position. Moore could have been done for incorrect binding though.

I'd guess the fact sheet may have mentioned that the Gold Coast 7s kicked off the IRB 7s season and a journo re-wrote it to be year not realising it really isn't the same thing.

Don't think it will be JO'C but Highlanders are teasing something:

Don't know what to make of that.

Here is the actual meat of the appeal: http://www.irb.com/mm/document/tournament/home/02/06/84/12/jameshorwill-decisiononappeal.pdf It's a pretty quick read if your familiar with the first findings as you can skip over the quoted sections. I'll try and pick out the more important parts...

The 'little better' was meant to indicate that "bound for botany bay" was also a poor choice, but better than a song about a sheep stealing coward. I want a song that the fans can all sing, I recognise the power a crowd can have united in a song/chant. I just think Waltzing Matilda is a...

I hate Waltzing Matilda as a sporting anthem. Its a bloke who steals a sheep and instead of copping it on the chin kills himself. How is that inspiring? I know it has history, John Williamson and the Wallabies success at the turn of the millenium. Just needed to get it off my chest. I...

Are you serious now? You're either trolling, have a different definition of 'hate' than I do or have been without the Internet for long stretches: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/quade-cooper-the-decision/ Features people describing QC (Quade Cooper) as: "knucklehead", "fool", "can't wait to see him...

Majority of Barbarian squad has been announced: espnscrum.com They say a couple of spots are subject to club availability, so there could be some changes. All in all a strong squad. Anyone know if the England vs Barbarians game will be shown on basic Foxtel in Australia? I seem to recall...

I'll go the other way, play it safe, and say it'll be the Fainga'a twins re-signing.

Yeah, I edited the quoted post too much, maybe I should have included: I don't mean to attack RedsHappy at all, its just that there seems to be 3 levels of stats. The points stats. The direct assist stats. And the near impossible to quantify 'psychological stats'. When a guy can...

I think that's a little unfair, yeah he's not getting the tries or the metres, but could that be because defences have adapted to try and shut him down? I think so, and in doing so it makes the job easier for the blokes around him. When defences see him lining up for an inside ball off Genia...

After reading it again, all it says is "3rd party payments" but in my mind that automatically gets me thinking "Stratco/Volvo/Firestone/etc". Though it doesn't have to be a sponsor right? Couldn't the ARU top up be thought of as a 3rd party payment when we're talking about the players contract...

So it seems Digby handed in his notice on the 8th, the same day Luke Morahan signed for the Force to get more starts. I wonder if Morahan even knew of this before signing?

Just found this, check question 4. http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/news/newsid=2045355.html#you+rugby+world+cup+referee Seems it doesn't have to be the same player to be a red card.

Yeah basically, but I don't think it has to be directly after though. If you've been warned for offsides. Then get pinged for not rolling away. Its not a yellow, but if any time after the final warning you get pinged for offside, its a yellow, doesn't mean it has to have occurred within 5...

Agreed, I haven't seen it done either; just a lot of people are saying there aren't laws for it, when there clearly is.

Nope, the title is: Repeated infringements by the team and uses language like 'If a player of that same team then repeats the offence'

Re-read 10.3 b). The first offence after the warning is a yellow card, the next one after that is a red. It doesn't reset.

The timing of the warning is at the Refs discretion, the actions afterwards are not. IRB Laws So the way I read that is after a warning, the next penalty given for the same offence is an automatic yellow, if another team member does it again it's a red. Edit: left reply window open too...
