The usual infringement is closing the gap before the ball is thrown - 18.10 - not closing the gap in going for the ball. Another case where short-hand is unhelpful.Or maybe not after Mr O'Keefe's penalty against England, perhaps Itoje looked at him in too strong a term!
It was farcical! Where was the TMO stepping in to say "mate you have go that so horrendously wrong."
Or the other where he pinged them for closing the gap but they caught the ball!
If that's where the ball is and if I don't jump you allow them to throw it squint what am I supposed to do?
Happy with that but we are in a position where tinkering in the interest of making the game less technical and more appealing to the masses reduces some of the significant attributes of the game.
