When was the last time a deliberate knock on wasn't a yellow?

Perhaps because it was the only one taken from a correct place?

When it wasn't a deliberate knock on...

yeah ok.

Quite likely ANY time it was done when it was unlikely that a try would be scored in that phase of play!

Check the rules/clarifications! It's only a Yellow card if there was a good chance a Try would have been scored has the pass been completed!This ref is awful - contributing to the poorness of the game , just no flow at all apart from about 10 mins from whales
Why didn’t he yellow card him if it’s a deliberate knock on ?

Nope, its a deliberate (cynical) penalty which should be a yellow card.

Twaddle!

I'm not blameing the ref (although he was very poor), for 60 minutes I couldn't see what we were trying to do with the ball and giving away stupid penalties, so we didn't deserve to win.

Yes very good, however that is not how it's been refereed for the last 5+ years.
Edit: if its is stopping an attack it is a yellow, if it is stopping a likely try it is a yellow and a penalty try.

You’re a bit too new to the forum to realise that Foxholer knows everything about everything, and has never yet been wrong.

I believe it's exactly how it has been! Just somewhat unusual to have such instances so far away from try line - as normally an act of 'desperation'!
Up to you to provide vid examples of DKOs that result in Yellow card where try not likely to be scored - or admit your error!

Impossible!

Utter twaddle! And I'm quite prepared to admit errors.
But I'm right on this one! Fancy a wager about it rather than simply making snidey comments?

Surely it's always 'stopping an attack' - even from near own goal line!

Tbh I'm not combined it was even a deliberate knock on. The ball brushed Lawes' static hand and continued on its existing path. Big difference between that and someone patting the ball to the floor or out off the hands of the attacking team.
Another clunk performance and a world away from being realistic WC contenders even playing ugly. France though seem to be purring right now. Could they upset the southern hemisphere sides and win it?

If it started today, you'd be backing France, Ireland and South Africa, with England an outside bet. I don't think we are that far away from a good side - start Marler for stability, and find a plan B to break the gain line when Manu is injured and we're pretty close, especially with one of the wings carrying some pace (I see Malins as covering the Ford spot on the bench with Radwan, Lynagh, Cocanasiga, May, whoever adding some whizz)
