[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 536753, member: 56767"] Why should a mistake go unpunished? Where do you stop? What if the full back knocks on from a garryowen? What happens if the tackled attacking player just throws the ball backwards through his legs, the following non-tackled attacking player goes for the quick pick up before any other defenders are back (or set) and fumbles - should they be allowed to pick it up and continue? Or are you going to define it solely to situations where the referee calls "ruck formed"? (note in that instance, a knock on from the base of a scrum will still result in the opposition having the feed into a scrum of their own) If I am a hooker, what then stops me flinging the ball 10 yards behind the lineout straight to my scrumhalf so the other team have no chance to contest it?
