The penalty is for a deliberate knock on not a knock down. The downwards motion of the hand is an indicator that no attempt to catch the ball was made. A knock up can be penalised too if it is deliberate and no attempt to catch the ball is made.

Can anyone tell me when Round 1 is?

Geoff Townsend and "Tom" Hill for the record. Also Hodge was definitely signed by the Rebels before the NRC started as there are media releases in early August.

Didn't Hodge miss most of 2014 and then get signed by the Rebels half way through his first season of Grade in 2015 and before he had played NRC? He also barely lost a game in his last Colts year and his 2015 season with Manly. I believe Phipps played 3 years of Colts, was part of the Sevens...

The IRB explains it differently to me but it is the same effect. You are allowed up to 6 substitutions / replacements for front rowers ie you can make 3 substitutions and then those substituted players can return if any or all of the bench front rowers are injured. I acknowledge that I did say...

3.4b stipulates how may players are on the bench not how many substitutions or replacements are allowed. eg a team substitutes 8 players for the 8 players on the bench with still 20 minutes remaining. All substitutions have now been used. However this does not prevent a front rower replacing...

Yes but my point is that the replacement of an injured player is a replacement not a substitution so 3.4d is not relevant.

That's not correct either. The only limit to injury replacements is that there is an available player on the bench - either fresh or a substituted player who is allowed to return under the Laws of the game eg a front rower.

That's not correct. A substituted prop can replace an injured prop even when there is a reserve prop as yet unused.

I am happy to confirm that super rugby appointments are done a number of weeks in advance for logistical reasons. However changes are made when there are poor performances particularly repeat poor performances.

You should be able to get the scores from Twitter.

Neck injury in GF has forced him to retire.

Randwick looked significantly bigger than Warringah in Colts 1.

the only way is up.

Wests played a touring team tonight and Uni has a match against a touring side on Tuesday night.

A little rough seeing he also missed the majority of the first season injured

Pretty sure he is still considered an overseas player and would need to qualify under Giteau Law.
