This one is for Ecky -
The law defines a knock-on and states "and the ball touches the ground or
another player before the original player can catch it".
What if the player knocks the ball on then gets his foot to the ball before it touches the ground. Is it a knock on ? There have been a few examples in recent weeks and the refs appear to have treated it both ways.
I grew up in the belief that it is still a knock on with key words in the current laws being "before the original player can catch it".
