Did Russell take that from the mark?
No, it wasn't. But...
Has there ever been a kick-from-hand penalty that was actually taken from the mark?
Not sure I've seen one in 40 years of watching rugby.
The mark tends to be the point maybe 1 step into a 5-6 step run-up to kick.
Pen Kicks for touch yes, often not taken from mark but it makes no difference.
But when it’s being done quickly against a team not set, similarly to a quick tap, it should have to be from the mark. Doesn’t help that the pen should have been other way anyhow.
But, we had some outstanding performers and some poor ones.
Warr again looks poor. Slow from the base, he takes the ball out and takes an ages to get the box kick away. Just generally bad.
Wasn’t hugely impressed with our one out carrying attacking structure but that’s on the coaches. We are hugely reliant on just sending big lads straight up the guts but it limits offloading capabilities as Bath just had two men tackling each time plus we risked losing it at the breakdown.
Thought RMW was brilliant. Addison okay. Carpenter fantastic, Reed and O’Flaherty both good. RDP some slick passing but kicking off tee not great.
Andrews sometimes seems a little weak in the carry and contact but is mobile.
