I looked this one up to find out where it is in the laws and it's actually in an odd place - rather than being in with the laws about lineouts or leaving the field of play, it's actually under Law 9.7 - Unfair Play. The wording is: "9.7b - A player must not: Intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with arm or hand from the playing area."
So it's fine to deliberately slap the ball backwards at any point, but if you do it so that it will go out of the field of play, then it's a penalty.
Puja
Thx (and for the M-by-M of course.!)

Wonderful work as always Puja.
Genge holding three Wallabies by the shirt and offering them all out is somehow so on brand it's not even surprising. I'm still more annoyed by Polly's lazy offside pens than I am by him nearly being caught for the try he still scores. Being onside at the breakdown is backrow bread and butter, can't give soft penalties away against better teams.
Don’t you dare criticise Polly … Oakboy will be along to loudly admonish you and talk about ceilings again

Thanks for the M-B-M format Puja. Personally the ‘condensed’ nature was more than good enough from a detail POV and was surely less taxing for you.
