The rules were slightly different back then. As long as the hands passed backwards, it was ok if the ball moved forward because of the momentum of the runner. It was checked at the time and it was backwards as it left the hands. Wouldn't be allowed now.

Oui peut-être mais il faut avouer que les deux essais français sont des essais de voleurs 😅 les essais gallois sont plus beaux sur ce match, surtout celui du grand Shane Williams !

+Mikefoot1 You are right.

As far as I know, the miskick holds the equivalent weight as a knock-on and so the game stops. It wasn't a penalty to Wales so no need to give them possession and continue the game

This law didn't exist at this moment. It created after that game.

Everyone would do that

Bullshit

That's funny since we all have seen the true sportsmanship of the Welsch at the end last week.

yeah, even as a french i believe it wasnt, but if that was the rule, is the safest way to end a game. now the laws have changed. that would be a scrum for wales.

Welsh would have been the first to do that. But the rules changed after this match in 2010 and Biggar would have done the same this year but then complaint, of course.
