the pass isn't forward. it leaves the hand backward. a ball will naturally move forward with the momentum of the passer. look where umaga is when rokocoko receives the ball. HE IS MOVING WITH THE BALL
@MGoose66 mate, it is basic laws of physics. if a player is running full tilt and makes a flat pass at the 22m line it is naturally going to end up in the hands of a player over that 22m line because of momentum created by the players running velocity. that doesn't make it a forward pass. you'll see it happen in every game of league or union, and this video is a classic example of it. LAWS OF PHYSICS
@centrallife2008. There is no such Law in Physics, not that that is relevent. What is relevant is Law 12 and more importantly, how the referees are instructed to interpret it. It would have been perfectly reasonable for this referee to pull this play back under the law, but, just as with the RWC FRA vs NZL SF, accept the ref's call and move on. It seems clear you are not a referee and have not read the laws. Do not compare Rugby with League. Both the rules (vs Laws) and interpretations differ.
What are you fucking gay slack Aussies going on about it wasn't a forward pass, search New Zealand vs France forward pass to find out what it looks like.
@toagne85 Yes forward pass just like ABs v France in RWC 2007. The difference being on this occasion it was irrelevant to the result. The Wannabies were well beaten.
Lol exactly, the ball going forward in any way is a forward pass no matter what. Do I have to say it but All Blacks vs France RWC 2007 Michalak forward pass?
Bro I'm from New Zealand ow and I've got it on DVD and it's clear as days. You're right Roks is behind the line but that doesn't matter it's where he received it he's miles infront of Umaga anyways they still awarded it and it won us the Bledisloe so yeah sweet as.
Its not even a forward pass, pause it exactly when umanga passes the ball, see the white line? umanga is over it and rokocoko is behind it and the line is straight so it wasnt actually a forward pass at all just looks like it from this angle. sorry but it was ligit!! go all blacks!
god i have never seen a perfect bounce like that, to be able to get it under the guy coming towards him and then have it bounce right back into his arms?...just beautiful
joe is more skilled than bowen and karmichael hunt put together. and caucau is too fat and lazy and unreliable to be considered the best winger in the world, he was for a short time the best, and had the most amazig skills, but no discipline - he's a has been
ur smoking joes alright compared to rupeni caucau he wasn't even the best winger when they was playin along each other in super 12 blues all you hear is caucau caucau caucau and yes caucau is the best winger in the world

@centrallife2008 That is not true, nor the point. The law is clear and in slow motion anybody should be able to clearly see there is a fault.
