  • @russellkid117 Watched it another 20 times and Slade is about 4m beyond the 20m line when he lets go of the ball.. and Guildford catches it approx. 3m past the 20m line - So it's a good pass, by at least 1m. Slade clearly looks to be passing the ball backwards (behind himself), in any case.

  • @meatformoney It doesn't matter if the ball started moving forward or backwards, it ended up ahead of the passer; ergo, forward pass. It specificies this in the laws

  • It wasn't forward at all.

    The ball moved forward, but it was passed backwards (if that makes sense). It's because the ball is delivered from a object (Slade in this case) which is moving forward at a number of meters per second, so even if he passes the ball 'flat' it moves forward. In this case, it was passed backwards (from Slade).. and a great pass.

  • @russellkid117 @russellkid117 It's called forward momentum. If you are running at a speed of say 8 m/s and pass the ball (slightly behind you), it continues traveling forward (minus however many meters behind you passed it - taking into account where it is being received). In this example, we could guess the ball was still traveling forward at a rate of say 4 m/s, although it was passed backwards. Very good pass, all things considered.

  • @Phillyated20 Look at where the 15 metre mark (from the sideline) intersects the 20metre line. The furthest forward point of that particular 15 metre line hash is just behind where the guy passing is level with. Guildford catches his pass 3 or 4 metres ahead of the hash. If you could see it from a horizontal angle you would see it easily.

  • @russellkid117 the first one didnt look too foward at all?

  • @ProfessorBastard yeah, cept the first one was a forward pass, the second one would have been a fail not to score, the third was 1 simple move anyone could pull. The only somehwat impressive try in there was the last.

  • Text colour could be better
