Red 10 passes to Red 12, who fumbles the catch, the ball goes forward and hits the post padding. Red 12 catches the ball and scores.
Knock on ? Or not ?
Would it make any difference - for the sake of visualising it - if in this scenario ..
a) the ball hits the front of the padding, bouncing back into 12's arms (ie lucky)
b) the ball glances off the side of the padding, so taking a marginal deflection but basically carries on its way and 12 gathers (ie skilful)
