What a game! It was a true bloody battle...and exciting until the end even though there was just one try I must admit the Scots dominated much of the game and Pumas defended , but defended very well...Lots of injured players Argentina lost two important players Lobbe in particular. The try was an awesome single man play. Pumas were very lucky the last drop attempt didn't go in. But well is the way this type of sports are... Pumas didn't deserve losing with England but we did...I hope Scotland can defeat the Rose ... Go Pumas Go! (at least until we will be crashed by the All Blacks :(What a game!

I have a question about rugby rules: player cant play the ball when he's lying on the ground. But What if he's lying over other players? for example in ruck, only his feet touch the ground but he's all over other players WHO ARE lying on the ground.I have a question about rugby rules:

I guess what you are describing is a Maul if the player is standing in his feet (and has the ball) he can keep the ball and can keep pushing forward and obviously if he can't advance he tries to turn around facing his team mates to give the ball back or if they can keep pushing forward they do so..if players fall it doesn't matter as far as they are not the carriers of the ball... as per rules of rugby... A Maul is formed with a similar gathering of players (to the ruck), except the player in possession of the ball is not brought to the ground (not tackled) but it held up by an opponent and one his own players converge on him. This creates offside lines through the feet of the last players on each side. Players from each team must retreat behind these offside lines if they are to take part in any subsequent play. The maul ends when the ball emerges.I guess what you are describing is a Maul if the player is standing in his feet (and has the ball) he can keep the ball and can keep pushing forward and obviously if he can't advance he tries to turn around facing his team mates to give the ball back or if they can keep pushing forward they do so..if players fall it doesn't matter as far as they are not the carriers of the ball...

Ok now I understand your question... if the player has a knee on the ground is considered 'on the ground' and has to release the ball but also if he has at least one knee on top of player that is on the ground is also considered 'on the ground'Ok now I understand your question...

I have to say that rugby is one of the most interesting sports ive seen. Though its not played here in finland. But its hard to follow. I use to watch english premier league rugby matches and i really dont get this: what makes another team better? for example in hockey, what i ve seen a lot, i can say that most of times a team with good goalie, good powerplay, and who moves,skates better wins.

And in football: a winning team gets many scoring opportnunities for player who is able to put the ball in the net. While preventing oponent to have scoring opportunities. Simple , eh?And in football: a winning team gets many scoring opportnunities for player who is able to put the ball in the net. While preventing oponent to have scoring opportunities. Simple , eh?

Highly dangerous throw from Warburton looks to have cost Wales their chance at the trophy. I'm seeing people complaining about it but come on he just drove him straight into the ground that's surely a red card in any sport!Highly dangerous throw from Warburton looks to have cost Wales their chance at the trophy.

The French were really lucky, even with one player less Wales almost took the match in that last penalty, yeah stupid tackle. New Zealand will destroy France Now lets see who gets closer to the final score, bets are open: My prediction NZ 34 Fra 6The French were really lucky, even with one player less Wales almost took the match in that last penalty, yeah stupid tackle.

New Zealand 32 France 3. Can't see France getting over New Zealand's try-line if they couldn't get past 14-man Wales. New Zealand getting 2 over Australia who are definitely stronger than France at least just seals the deal.New Zealand 32 France 3.
