Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2459203, member: 1764"] Unless the player was making an attempt to catch the ball with their hands. In the Tuqiri case it was so quickly into Tate's head he had no chance to even think about getting his hands near it. But a situation where you're attempting to catch a ball and it goes through your hands, missing them completely, hits your chest and goes forward is still ruled a knock on. HOWEVER, it would be interesting in a case like that if it got referred to the video referee, because they would have to look at it by the letter of the law, which ignores common sense, and they probably would rule that a try in that case. The law of common sense, and the whole point of the knock on rule would dictate that that's (the ball missing hands and hitting chest but player was attempting to catch it) a knock on. [/QUOTE]
