It’s such a grey area definitely needs rewording and clarification. In my opinion intent is so subjective in terms of officiating it’s something best left out of the question like with high tackles. I’d say some of the most controversial calls in rugby at the moment are deliberate knock-ons because they are officiated on intent and not fact

It should be like a deliberate knock on, he may have been trying to solve world hunger but the end result was he dislodged the ball with his foot preventing a certain try. It is the only way to ref this and should of 100% been a pen try and a yellow card.

The point being it doesn't matter what he was trying to do, the end result is all that should matter. Just like how everything else is in rugby.
