The trouble is that they are actually applying the law incorrectly, they are not taking into account that people's hands move backwards after the ball has been released.
If the ball is being received 2 metres ahead of where it was passed from then there is an issue.
You can actually propell a ball forward and yet your hands move backwards from the release of the ball.
From a spin pass the ball will point in the direction it was propelled - if it's pointing towards the try line and travels forward 2 metres from where it was passed then I cannot accept it wasn't propelled forwards.
This is what I'm talking about:
His hand to move backwards... but only after he has released the ball.
