Answer: Watch the incident. Hodgson had no intention of taking a tap kick. As he dropped the ball he told the referee he was going to kick at goal. His action with the foot was merely a matter of guiding the ball to the ground.

I don’t think it mattered whether the referee noticed his action or not.

11. 22 OK?

Reader: At the very end of the Wales v England game, Stephen Jones (I think) attempted a drop goal, it missed but touched an England hand in flight. Jason Robinson fielded the ball behind the posts and touched down. The ref awarded a 5 metre scrum - is this right?

Answer: Yes. An England player had played the ball before it went into in-goal.
