Re: Where the 2018 Law Book is actually different from 2017
Definitions specific to each law have been removed leaving some gaps:
2017 Scrum definitions included:
The outside players who bind onto the second or third row are the flankers.
The player in the third row who usually pushes on both locks is the No.8.
Alternatively , the No. 8 may push on a lock and a flanker.
2018 Scrum laws include:
7. The players in the scrum bind in the following way:
d. All other players in the scrum bind on a lock’s body with at least one arm.
Is there an assumption by WR that all scrums are 3-4-1 as in their diagram? Or do the 2018 laws leave it open to 3-3-2, 3-2-3?
