[QUOTE="Wichita, post: 1142829, member: 59727"] The forward pass rule is difficult to apply, because contrary to what many fans (and players) think, forward does not apply to a relative position on the field, but to the movement of the player releasing the ball. There is a good IRB video to understand the logic. In this specific case, the AB 10 was not running at full speed, so the momentum of the ball might not be enough to explain why the ball travelled that far ahead. But it is still a difficult one to assess, even for the TMO. Still, M. Peyper was in my opinion too soft about reckless entries in the ruck or tackling players without the ball, usual issues with the ABs. [/QUOTE]
