Were Wales lucky not to get a yellow card for deliberate knock down?

Yeah apart from the fact that it didn't go forwards. Doctordbx Is spot on, he might have been trying to knock it down but it went backwards so no infringement. Unlucky on the Georgians, yes, but the right the decision

Well you'll never get a more obvious example of a deliberate knock down. Georgia hard done by

It doesn't matter, a player is perfectly entitled to knock a ball back in a legal manner. There is nothing wrong with that at all. Maybe he got lucky but that's the way the ball bounced on this one. No infringement.

Rubbish. He had no right to the ball. Explain what he was doing with his hand there? Was he catching it? No

It must be a deliberate infringement. Since there was no infringement the whole argument is moot. There was no knock on, no infringement, no penalty.

Also TMOs are such yes men. It's pathetic

"but luckily for him he didn’t pull it off" Well he did. He cynically obstructed the opposition pass on attack. That was his intent and he acheived it. This is exactly what the law was created to prevent Poor old Georgia, they hardly need calls going aginst them but they still put on a fantastic show

Yeah, you can, because that’s what happened. You have to take into account the forward pass rule that says that the ball has to go backwards out of your hands, but can still be travelling forwards relative to the pitch. The Georgian passes the ball backwards out of his hands, but toward the Welsh line relative to the pitch (so not a forward pass). The ball and Welsh hand touch, but not enough to stop it continuing its flight towards the Welsh line. While it’s not a Georgian forward pass, after it leaves the Georgian’s hands it’s always moving towards the Welsh line, so isn’t a knock on. The Welshman may well have tried to be cynical and deliberate, but luckily for him he didn’t pull it off.

Cynical and deliberate. Yellow all day The spiralling of the ball causes the eventual trajectory. It travels forward off his hand and then spins. There is NO way that you can deflect the ball backwards with your palm facing the opp goal line

No knock on. Nothing to see here.

No way does it go forward off the hand. It moves towards the Welsh try line... that is not forward.

I thought it went forward off the hand though

It's pretty clear. The penalty is for deliberately infringing to gain advantage. Tapping a ball backwards is not infringing. The yellow card penalty for deliberate knock down is already a stupid law without people injecting their own nonsensical understanding of it.
