[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 917124, member: 20605"] Yep, that's a fair call, although if you listen a bit further, Naas Botha makes the key point that they stay on their feet when they do that. As long as you don't flop over the ball or seal off, the referee is going to allow you the latitude to do this. Going off his feet is what the Springbok player did that got him penalised, which led to Mo'unga's bounce kick to touch on the Springbok 5m line; a position from which they scored the winning try - if he had stayed on his feet, or at least made an attempt to roll away, he probably would not have been penalised. Keep in mind also, that the optics are a lot like a counter ruck. You don't see referees pinging teams that drive over [I][B]opposition[/B][/I] ball, so long as they stay on their feet and don't kick the ball through, out or ahead. [/QUOTE]
