Thanks for all the answers.
I played in a game once where it was so windy you couldn't kick the ball out in one direction as ball would get blown back into play - you could barely pass it. It made goal kicks impossible.
I was playing fly half and, as we were st hoofing it into touch was our main game plan, leaving my thundering lack of pace thoroughly exposed.

just to get in the mood for the weekend (no it's not 6N but still makes me smile...)

Not that many on here will care about Ulster Rugby:

Now just need some of the board that have done the previous hiring and firing to go with him. Wonder if Mark McCaul feels like returning to where it all started...

I think the Paddy Jackson / Stuart Olding alleged rape case is talking over Ulster rugby at the minute

Not so sure - Ulster rugby/IRFU were very quick to effectively suspend them once the initial allegations came out. From what has been in the press, i don't think they'll be playing rugby for a while...https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-i...

I suspect Schmidt isn't too happy with his captain showing up in court a few days before the 6Ns kicks off: https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.balls.ie/amp/rugby...
Personally I've felt it's been time for a new Irish captain for a while now in preparation for the RWC anyway

Hi all,
Just for anyone who may not have seen the other thread, I've just added a Fantasy 6 Nations pool onto https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
We've had one for the last few years, so this one should be no different!!!

I was at a club game this afternoon, kicker lined up a conversion, it hit the post, bounced back towards him and without hitting the ground, or anyone else, he took a volley kick, more out of frustration than hope, it hit the post for a second time and went over! Two points or not two points, that is the question?
I would guess at yes 2 points as the ball hadn’t gone dead. A bit like if you kick a penalty you can score a try off a rebound off the postsSmollet said:

No, because a drop kick involves letting the ball hit the ground!
I am aware of the mechanics of a drop kick. Never mind The whole debate here was only a debate because the ball only hit the posts between the two kicks, nothing else.
I have been asking about quite a bit on this one. I still don't have the definitive answer although the most popular answer is that it depends what side you were on! I was running the line, I gave it as a conversion, the ref didn't, and when I spoke to him about it after he conceded that he had no idea.

The ball is “dead” as soon as the conversion is attempted. You can’t have a second go at it.Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
