Kicking it out the opposition has a choice whether to retake the kickoff, or a scrum. So that's not really going to work.

To be fair, they haven't changed the laws - they simply clarified the law that's already there.

Well if your opponent decides you to retake the kick off then you do a proper kick off, if they decide scrum then mission accomplished, sounds like a win to me.
 
Been one way traffic. Aussies lucky to be 12 behind at the break. Lions have looked sharp for a side that have been together for barely a month. 1 or 2 decisions go their way, 1 or 2 more phases of play, 1 or 2 more passes stick and it's 30-5 at HT... Lowe having a mare...

World Rugby have clarified that deliberate infringements at the kick off should be a penalty.

It's interesting that world rugby stepped in and basically threw the ref under the bus but what I find odd is we just saw a deliberate infringement in the Lions v Australia game but it was acceptable.

At the end of the first half I don't recall the player but the Lions player caught the ball from a penalty kick to touch that wasn't out and then while in possession of the ball deliberately walked into touch to force a line out which would have technically been an Australian lineout if time wasn't up.

How is that okay but what the springboks did is not an quickly prompt world rugby to respond publicly with clarification?
 
These Aussies are really not good. It seems they don’t want possession, and when they get it they aren’t sure what to do.

It's completely legal to intentionally kick or run the ball in to touch
 
Supersports coverage is genuinely. Awful production awful pundits. Can we get serious and stop giving seemingly any old player a gig?
 
We look poor. We’ve looked poor the whole season so far.
