Tv didn’t replay with sound, but the commentators said the umpire said “Move it on” is that in the rules ? Or do the rules say “play on” ? I’d take “move it on” as a warning...
I think they use the "move it on" as a bit of a "prior opportunity" to get things going.
It seems to be a continuous sentence when they say it..."Move it on, play on"
So in effect it's a warning that quickly turns into a 'play on'.
Most players realise that even when the 'play on' call is made they still have a bit of time to dispose of the ball.
He can see the man in front, no-one in the protected area by his side.
The only one he can't see is the man coming from behind
The speed with which Polson was run down must have bordered on the player being too close.
