Yep it didn’t really achieve anything

Yeah, that sort of thing can work if the play is moving more and you can wrong foot the defence. It relied on the slow hand offs to at the start to confuse the back and failed utterly. Without that, it's the worst sort of kick possible slow and loopy enough to be easy to predict and catch and shallow enough that the rinners chasing the ball can't catch up. At least a grubber kick can have a tricky bounce.

After he assaulted the opposition halfback.

He used his foot bro

@@notyoureverydaycultist2579 It's after it hits his foot, he rolls it along the ground with his hand to gather it up when he's in front of the ball

Rolling the ball is not a knock on.

Because of the skill of the kick many of these moves don't lead to tries

spot on, the basis of these clips is not only the skill but the cleverness - that wasn't clever...

@@nickc5417 It was also illegal as you cannot kick the ball with your heel

@@joedennehy386 read the title of the video.

@@joedennehy386 also, how was it better than a normal kick?

I think quite a lot of the moves in this compilation are illegal. The Argentine flying wedge for example (2:00). I'm sure when I was refereeing it was illegal to bind onto another player from your own team who had not already been tackled by the opposition. It was also illegal to tap the ball over an opposition player (2:30) and then regather it.

18.2b 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. So he's fine.

@@michaelhaddock8636Kolbe's one isn't illegal. The laws (11.4) say that if you have a reasonable chance of gathering the ball then it's ok, otherwise pretty much *every* interception attempt would be a knock on.

@@NiallMcKenzie an intentional knock-on *is* illegal though - he's not knocking on while attempting to gather the ball, he's batting it past an opponent.

@@RichLancs74 the hall hits his chest and goes forward, from the moment on, he’s in the process of regathering the ball until a) he catches the ball cleanly (play on) B) the ball hits the deck (scrum for the knock on) C) opponent catches it (scrum advantage for the knock on) D) kolbe makes contact with the ball again without catching, then we restart this process. You can’t just run up to a player and pop it forward over their head as you were in possession of the ball and that is a deliberate throw forward. However, caveat here, as kolbe is trying to gather the ball (from him knocking the ball forward), tackling him is completely legal here.

What I thought too!

Yeah! Thought the same!

Had to look at it a few times but pretty sure you're right

100% offside, was just about to post the same

I inserted this moment in the first part: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLqkdsiF1sqYg3k.html

haha how bout Finn Russell's he-does-it-with-the-eyes pass in the match against England. What a game that was.

Also just a stupid decision

@@matthofmann7517 I was going to say, is needlessly giving the ball away on a decent attack a “smart” or “high IQ” move?

@@Heathen.Deity. No. And not taking that as a free kick ~7 meteres is a -200 iq play. Everything not to do in that one.

@@Heathen.Deity. its the Barbarians, they routinely do low-percentage, flashy plays for the entertainment value. I don't watch women's rugby but its nice to see the tradition is being kept

@@philipeafroboy1 I get the Baa-Baa mentality, but picking this play as a “High IQ” example is a tad misguided

no there not

Name more than one…fool

@@timjones7482 0:32 - Law 16.11 c - players must not take action to make opponents believe that the maul has ended when it has not. 0:56 - Law definitions - Kick - “an act made by intentionally hitting the ball with any part of the leg or foot, except the heel” 1:25 - exact same as 0:56, unless Red 6 (i think, the player that hit it with his heel) catches it, then it would be fine 1:50 - under current laws, illegal, but fine at the time (based on quality of video and referee kit!), though the flying wedge law (9.22) has been in for some time. 2:01 - player taps the ball forward into his team mate, therefore offside 2:49 - 15.16g - exact same as 0:32 above. 3 minutes in and that’s 5 instances of illegal play

Problem is many of these clips are of instances before many of the law changes stopping the action being taken.

@@Gazmaz they really haven’t. Many of these laws have been in place for years. The only one that I’m not sure on is the flying wedge, when that became law.
