Law book, when it comes to scoring tries says nothing about 'control' (Law 8 - Scoring and Law 21 In-Goal)
How would one have "control" if you're able to score with your neck?GROUNDING THE BALL
1. The ball can be grounded in in-goal:
a. By holding it and touching the ground with it; or
b. By pressing down on it with a hand or hands, arm or arms, or the front of
the player’s body from waist to neck.
“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
No need for control, but he has possession of the ball when it's in the air, not on the ground, once he has possession he can knock it on by losing control and it hitting the ground. So once he's in possession, he needs to retain control.Insane_Homer wrote: ↑Sat Oct 31, 2020 9:18 amLaw book, when it comes to scoring tries says nothing about 'control' (Law 8 - Scoring and Law 21 In-Goal)

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Just utterly wasted. Is that 4 tries and 2 denied? Ridiculous.

This is what happens when the RC's strongest team can't play. The second best team hasn't taken any poundings, so they are full of confidence
