How can a backward pass come forward?

43rd minute of the France – New Zealand match (27-13) Friday evening, opening the World Cup. The All Blacks, led by a short header at the break by the Blues, left with big ambitions and attacked from their camp with an overhand kick from Ardie Savea for Will Jordan. The Crusaders’ arrow is stopped around thirty meters from the French goal. In the following playing time, Rieko Ioane sends a very high pass to his winger Mark Telea. Damian Penaud stops, raises his arms, looks around for Jaco Peyper, the match referee, and calls for a kick-in. But Peyper doesn’t flinch and Telea scores a double.
