yes, I think that's because everyone understands this isn't a rugby law, where players naturally look for loopholes and play at the boundary of what...

In our presentation the biggest concern for most people seemed to be the forming of a maul and who was at fault. In my few games this was never...

The self reflection I took back from my games was that maybe I was a little too enthusiastic around the new breakdown expectations (time jackler...

I did one before Christmas on a muddy pitch. We played 3x 25 mins to allow for coaches to swap and change and fat lads to rest. I had one...

I quite like the goal line drop out. Gets the ball into general play very quickly.

The Captain's Challenge isn't new here - the NRL have been using it for a while. The worst thing about it isn't the challenge itself. It's the...

I got two adult games over Xmas reffing these, main take always where; - really slow down the scrum replacement FK and get them back a clear 10...

the goal line drop out is interesting to me, as a knock on INTO the in goal, clearly has a different outcome from a knock on INSIDE the in goal. Viz...

If you think it is because two props are dominating the other two. Call the stronger ones out: "Look guys you two are far too strong for the LHPs /...

I think it would be exceedingly rare for the team with the put in to wheel a scrum past 90* intentionally

Yes :hap:

yep. agree. But i merely provided another reason to do so. Yes, reliant on not getting caught. But then

That would mean players are cheating and we know that would never happen :wink: To be clear Didds there is normally an indication such as the...

Except to win a penalty of course if this is clear how its to be blown.

As well as the assessor I had in Staffs who suggested if the scrum was unsteady on "set" I should penalise the none putting in team. It must be...

Snap, it means far closer to what they want us to achieve than ‘accidental’ - which is part of what started this thread.

got it ... thanks

I like the new word he has introduced : avoidable

Quite, you're probably going through the same mental decision making process to get to that conclusion. The only real thing that probably has to...

If one team gets the scrum moving straight forward and it then spins I would penalise the other team. (so reward them with a penalty). If they get...

not sure what you mean. Reward them how?

I think at our level the old adage still works. You know a Red when you see it. If you're debating it with yourself then it's a Yellow.

Agree, at one point Wayne talks about using the facts you have available (from where you are, what you see, etc) and importantly not filling in the...

Yes I know and I agree with you, but this goes into a bit more depth. Including what the definition of foul play is (in the context of head on...

That’s why I said my previous post.

Good advice here. After the initial presentation he talks about how to handle this in the community game with just one look at the incident. ...

Sometimes, I think, you can only judge that something is reckless by outcome, like it or not. It is perfectly possible to perform a stand up, chest...

At this stage I'm no clearer on what the outcome should be when I see a similar incident during one of my games. To be clear, prior to the incident...
