I think we are missing a point here.

Was the Red Card report (and the case before the EPCR Committee) wording changed? Didn't see the match so have no idea what the referee said when he showed...

In their efforts to 'simplify' the Laws the iRB have created some confusions.

Fair question bearing in mind the ball can "kicked directly dead" if there is a genuine attempt at goal that misses...

Personally I don't have an issue with the pre-binding, as long as they are behind the ball thereby allowing a tackle to be made and a fair contest.

The issue that i have with this at the dizzy...

6 weeks is my guess

I wasn't aware that France had a salary cap, which is why so many of the top cubs are in the financial mire?

Isn't she just! One of the benefits of rugby being on BT Sport.

If the boots have the relevant kite mark then "yes".

However, as a referee we can refuse them on the grounds of safety - if they are a little sharp. It is a debate that has raged in the game -...

I'd have said "No", defender got there first - my justification being that his right arm was underneath that of the Red attacking player and appeared to have touched the ball to the ground first.

I can't understand why this is not spotted more at the elite level.

If I can spot a support player stepping into the gap and pulling the jumper into him, then so can an AR - who has moved to the...

18.2 (b) seems to cover what you have described



A player jumps, from within or outside the playing area, and catches the ball, and then lands in the playing area, regardless of whether the...

There is a history of something similar.

Back in the 80s Bath played either Wigan or Hull KR in two matches; one played to League rules and the other to Union Laws. If memory serves the League...

I'm guessing that because the act of kicking a ball out of the scrum is not only illegal (PK) but also because it is dangerous play in that a boot will be in close proximity to the head of an...

Except you are allowed to attempt to charge down a conversion kick

First time is FK then there is the opportunity, if it happens again, to escalate to a full arm PK

Ball clearly went backward - look at the direction of the hands in the initial live run. looks an even worse call in slow motion.

But the software is already in your phone. You are tracked all the time. Just not with an 'official government app'

I believe that Welsh Rugby has also indicated that it won't be adopting them either.

RFU is remaining quiet - as far as I am aware - at this stage. Probably because of the whole Premiership...

Because then you'd have to mandate the depth of the 'In goal' area to ensure an equal opportunity of scoring from either a PK, conversion or Drop Goal. If I award a PK 18m out from the Goal line and...

Speaking from a personal viewpoint; I can't wait to get back on the park.

Interesting and thanks for sharing.

Curious that passing drills were permitted, one presumes that the players wore gloves?

This is the salient point.

When a team makes a substitution and that takes them to the limit of the number of interchanges they are permitted I will tell the Captain that is their limit. I would...

It used to be a "thing" in London, so always worth clarifying - as CR says.

It seems that Pichot isn't hanging around

Although before the Laws were (ahem) "simplified and not rewritten" there was a paragraph that stated all players approaching the line of touch (LoT) were deemed to be participating players.

For...
