Rugby 7’s Marky Mark

[King Salvo]

That Lucas Lacamp for USA looks a fair player - 23 years old

[The Real King]

He changed the game as soon as he came on. All class and moves extremely well in a very short stint

How good was he? Looked strong..very impressive.

Australia 22 defeated Argentina 14 - Australia tops that pool

Mark played some minutes and looked okay - not sure why he is not starting

Wondering though how the Argentine second try was awarded a try - tackled short with the ball touching the ground and reached out and planted the ball over the try line - In League that would be ruled a double movement - The defender still had hold of the Argentine players legs

No such thing as a double movement in rugby.

They have Klown refs too.

Marky will be wasted on the wing. Surely plays centre. Just needs to work on his defence.

You'd think he'd know that, but in Salvo's defence his mind was probably distracted by the feats of Henry Hutchison.

[Waylander]

That Corey Toole can certainly motor. If you didn't watch any of the earlier pool games, he scored a blistering try against Kenya. Go to 1:23:

He's not starting because he only joined the 7's team 5 weeks ago, and doesn't have the same fitness base as the other forwards. Yes, he's playing this tournament as a forward, and the established forwards, including captain Nick Malouf & vice captain Henry Hutchison are normally big minute players (if you can call a 14 minute game that).

He was only ever planned to be used as an X factor off the bench. Both he and Toole were added at the end of their Super Rugby commitments, and were not part of the ongoing Australian 7's set up. Both are solely being used as impact players.

I recall reading that Henry is related to the Mercurial one The Hutchinator

[Mickie Lane]

It’s not touch, Mickie

I know that but its practically touch football.
7's is not about defence.

No double movement in rugby

When tackled the player in possession is required to release the ball in Rugby - usually behind them in such tackles

Double movement in rugby union explained

The sanction for non-compliance here is a penalty against you – so if we consider that a player is tackled as they attempt to score a try, fall short but make a second movement towards the line and thus fail to “move away from the ball” as they get up, not only is the score chopped off but the opposition gain possession.

My man, I grew up playing, coaching and watching rugby. You can google what u want it’s incorrect, especially from a non official source like rugby world. There is no offical mention of double movement in rugby union laws. The closest law If you want to get technical - When rugby players are tackled short of the try line, they are allowed to reach out immediately and place the ball over the line to score a try.

A double movement occurs when players propel themselves forward on the ground to reach the line. This is a second movement and is not allowed.

[The Real King]

Back to Mark...holiday is over, he will be in Perth waiting to see his new teammates on Tuesday.

[bondi.boy]

only read about it. apparently he sat on the bench with good posture

Saw a news clip ...of him and other players, in a small group.
He's fairly tall, with muscular upper body.
ie; he's not short and skinny.
Seems to have potential to be good for us, if he adapts quickly...in a reasonable length of time...can't wait forever.
