Last 5 mins of the England Saxons vs USA game : Sun Jun 05, 2011 9:11 pm  

I saw the last 5 minutes when I got in and I noticed that USA try. That would have been a double movement in RL and a penalty the other way and I was absolutely shocked that such a shambles could be given as a try in RU.

I basically want to know what the actual rule is involving movements once a players ball carrying arm hits the ground like that? How does it work in Union as it is clearly very different to RL.

It probably depends on whether or not the referee and yourself are members of the same freemasons' lodge.

In English? haha. I have no idea what a freemason is all I can assume is its some posh pill0cks place and the refs in RU are bent?

Get this on the rugby union thread!
Have seen the try via US rugby union.com (or a web address to that effect) and it smacks of pity and charity.
