But every rugby player is a cheat.... why else would EA include cheating in the game if it wasn't an integral factor in the way the game plays out, it's just some players are better cheats than the others.
He was not the tackler. The tackler was Nonu. McCaw came flying from an angle on the side of the ruck (penalty), the went off his feet (penalty) in the ruck. That's 2 ruck offenses in 2 seconds.[/b]

You might notice that I have been a member of this forum for over two years, but I have only posted about 100 times. Thats because I became ****** off with all the stupid idiot comments from posters whose command of language appeared limited to text speak (or should I say "txt spk") and who seemed more interested in rudely slagging each other off than having a decent rugby discussion. I decided that if I wanted to discuss ******** with wankers, I could always go to PlanetRugby where the tosser population is well represented.
In the end, I collaborated with another rugby fan and we created our own forum, based on the old defunct IRB forums, and invited former members to join. The discussion there tend to be a little more "scholarly" than on most other rugby forums.
Incidentally, I am also a member of RugbyRefs.com, a referees discussion forum, where I have been a member since 2005. You have to be a referee or a retired referee to get access to the Referees only areas.[/b]
No. Sorry mate. I wasn't having a go at the forum. I think this forum is very good, but as with life, there is a proportion of the population that are total tossers. so any in forum that has a large membership, there will be proportionally more tossers.
I look forward to participating more here than I have in the past, as I think I have plenty of experience in Rugby, both as a former player and a retired referee, to bring to the table.
InsaneAsylum flicked me a PM so I have replied. I think we're all good now.
Someone mention that its hard to get meaning across on the net, so I have learned to use plenty of these things
:mellow: :huh: :bravo:

Hmm, would you be as frustrated and the feeling that you got ripped of if Australia had won the match by 6 points? Regardless I can see what you mean, there isn't the same excitment imho as there was in the mid 90's to about 2000.look to be honest, it's got nothing to with what's happened recently, especially not with the cricket. speaking purely about rugby, I have been becoming a lot more jaded over the last 5 years and some of my comments on here are out of pure frustration. rule changes and negative styles of play aren't good for the game as a whole.
you might want to ignore me, but at least i'll give you a different point of view to what you read in the dominion or the dicussions you'll have with your kiwi mates.
i payed $90 for my ticket to the bledisloe this year, i'm just hoping i get my money's worth. if i wanted to see a lot of kicking, i'd go watch AFL. I can watch 2 games of AFL for $90 so it's not such a bad deal.[/b]

LAW 16.5 OFFSIDE AT THE RUCK
© Players joining or rejoining the ruck. All players joining a ruck must do so from behind the foot of the hindmost team-mate in the ruck. A player may join alongside this hindmost player. If the player joins the ruck from the opponents' side, or from in front of the hindmost team-mate, the player is offside.

nickdnz - i probably wouldn't have been as frustrated if i was watching the game with different people, regardless of the result. i do really miss rugby of the late 90's and early 2000 but that's a different matter
smartcooky - thanks for your explanation and this may be a little off topic, but in your picture look at blue 6 and 4. lets say red wins the ball and passed to the red backs, can blue 6 and 4 tackle any red player with the ball or should they be called for offside?[/b]

Does that mean that you can come flying on an angle if you were behind the last feet when you ran ? Say number 6 retreats 1 step and then goes with in the ruck with the same direction. Would that be legit ? Also what is then preventing the #6 player to hit the red player directly knowing he comes from behind the last foot ?

As long as he joins next to his own player, no problem. However Blue 6 and 4 cannot run past Blue 7 and join ahead of that player. For example, if there was another Red player behind the existing red player in the ruck, he cannot join by binding on him. because even though he comes from behind the offside line, he is still going to breach Law 16.5 by joining ahead of his own player. If there is another red player NEXT to the existing red player, then any player joining the ruck can join to him.
The Blue 6 and 4 can retire behind the offside line then join the ruck just like any other player. Similarly, a player already bound to the ruck can leave the ruck, retire behind the hindmost foot, and rejoin. These are all common occurrences in and around a ruck
