if there is no tackle, there is no maul, therefore any player from the team in posession in front of the ball that the player with the ball binds to is offside. Also, as there is no tackle, there is no offside line, therefore you can run around the back of the not-maul and directly tackle the player in posessionthecoolfreak wrote:Absolutely dire match!!
Interesting tactic by Michael's not to engage in the mauls!! Was the ref right in saying its truck and trailor though? Remember this being done in the 6N before and the ref did no such thing!

Yeah, you're right Dave. I think you'd want to let the officials know what you were planning before doing it......its a bit risky.Dave Cahill wrote:if there is no tackle, there is no maul, therefore any player from the team in posession in front of the ball that the player with the ball binds to is offside.

Quite true, the welsh did it in their first test against Argentina last summer, they didn't tell the ref what they were doing, and in the first half he just played on. In the second half they let the ref know that they would not be binding to any mauls on argentina ball at all, what followed was a number of penalties for offside and tackling the man without the ball in Wales' favourFlash Gordon wrote:Yeah, you're right Dave.

rubbish. kearney is good but the most over rated player in the competition. he gets talked up too much because of who his brother is.he missed an easy kick and had some difficulties under the high ballthecoolfreak wrote:He's nothing spectacular. Kearney is a much better playerRyan_89 wrote:I have never been so happy in my entire life!!!!!!WE finally won the cup.
The branch better hurry up and sign CLeary before he signs for Harlequins.

Well he still played a lot better than Cleary yesterday. Bounced the biggest player on the pitch and has a great step and great strengthtrue blue 06 wrote:rubbish. kearney is good but the most over rated player in the competition. he gets talked up too much because of who his brother is.he missed an easy kick and had some difficulties under the high ballthecoolfreak wrote:He's nothing spectacular.

don't agree. he is a good player with a nice side step but cleary certainly is spectacular. he's a huge hitter, great passer and a great tactical kickerthecoolfreak wrote:Well he still played a lot better than Cleary yesterday.
