Pass to Faddes was forward but, hey, it's in the books.

You cant do anything on the ground. Out of play.

^ swings & roundabouts, innit? Two wrongs may not make a right but a try from a forward pass kinda balances out the one that would probably have been scored if not for the deliberate knock-on/ down.

Is that only if you're on the ground from a ruck? Like if you trip over in general play, then make a tackle from the ground? Is that illegal?

^ yes. Otherwise we'd be the code everyone else calls dive ball.

It is a good game. I’m a bit worried the Reds will run out of steam, and there defence line is still getting messy once a first up tackle is missed, but there is plenty to like about what they are doing and the attack is anything but dour.
Hopefully we won’t kick anymore ball to Ben Smith.

This crowd seems to be enjoying themselves. Has anyone told them this is a rugby game?

don't get how the ref could see the grounding there, but it's in the book now.
