If you read the rules properly it is.Defenders have to comply so do attackers you dont get a free pass on attack if you gain an unfair advantage. Its just been very poorly referred for many years. after the second kick everybody infront of the kicker shouldnt advance until being put onside, Im surprised that somebody posting a Rugby video doesnt know this.@@GeraintDaviesGDD

Very interesting, Geraint. Some concise analysis in the key areas. I have enjoyed your reply to comments too, I agree it would be interesting to see Smith vs other 9s in similar context. I think I fall on the ‘onside’ team regarding the cheat lines - very smart play. Keep them coming.

Again spot on. Pitty we don't live next door to each other, I would enjoy a conversation with you 'cause I look at the same things you do.

@@GeraintDaviesGDD All the leagues that allow fans to repurpose and redistribute their content via social media platforms thrive (e.g. NBA, NHL) AND those that don't are withering away (MLB) esp. among younger people. If World Rugby, and all the various leagues in NH & SH were generous, instead of restrictive, the game would grow faster beyond those that grew up with it. I'm a perfect example of someone who found the game late in life (Age 48 in 2012, though I did watch RWC 1995 Live from the US) They should be ENABLING people like yourself and @squidgerugby. I think at some point, leagues will even allow access to their live feeds and fan-directors will be able to broadcast their own versions live.

Thank you, Callum! I like that idea, it would be really interesting to compare a range of international 9's (or even players in different positions?) to see how what they do compares? Ben Young's would be a perfect comparison! Maybe someone like Dupont too?

I love his little chest line ahead of the ball. Very clever! Not sure whether that would make him offside from the cross field kick though, he’s always in front of the ball until he receives the pass?

@GeraintDaviesGDD

3 жыл бұрын

He's so good at anticipating the where the ball is going isn't he? I don't think he's offside to be honest, although I can see that he's in front when the ball is kicked. Do you think he gets put onside when Sevu Reece receives?

Geraint Davies Rugby Coaching & Analysis Throws his pass and straight away is on the move and no intention of going back towards his own line. Puts him in a great position after the line break. You could definitely argue that he is offside as he’s in front of the kicker and also makes no attempt to hold his ground or retreat. He definitely gains an advantage from being in front. Should he retreat or is he allowed to advance as he’s nowhere near the ball? Personally I’m not sure if he is offside but I’d definitely feel hard done by if I was him and got penalised for it. Be very interested to know other people’s thoughts on the clip?

@GeraintDaviesGDD

Yeah he's fully committed to going forwards after, which is a really positive behaviour. He's in front of Mo'unga but has not impact on the game. He's also put on side by Sevu Reece. I'd definitely be interested in other thoughts too!

the run at 2.05 is 100% offside if he gets involved in any play it should be a penalty. regardless if he is back onside at the time he has been offside to put himself in this position.
