8. and a handover will be ordered when a player does not make a genuine attempt to play the ball correctly with their foot I love this one. They should extend it to when players don't play the ball on the mark as well. A penalty was always too harsh, so refs would just ignore the infringement. This...

But this is as much on the ref. When the flag goes up he has to stop play (according to the rule book)

Re: Playing the whistle

The touch judge is only allowed to raise his flag when the ball goes out.

He clearly raised his flag... so regardless of whether or not it went out, he made the signal (which can’t be overturned by the ref) that the ball was out.

I for one would vote 'NO' if all gay partners were forced into marriage. But that's not the case.

The fact that this couple doesn't want to get married shouldn't impact the couples that do.

If there was a vote to allow Catholics the lawful right to the sacrament of communion, I would vote yes.
