Dickie, the "usual caveats" here are maintaining social distancing, so will make lineouts easier with a two metre gap, and running in tries will be easier too, but i am not sure how scrums will work!

Not convinced that the reward of the jackle is clear - I though the reward was if he beat the clearout and kept hold of the ball?

Oi, i just came back to put in "eight" and you had bumped me

SIX..

I think that is against one of the rules!

As I understand you can go to work, but only if your work is absolutely necessary and you cannot do it from home.

SRU announced yesterday that all rugby including grass roots and training is cancelled with effect from 6pm tomorrow. I think the plan is for it to be off for a couple of weeks, but if you follow...

Agree you handled it well and unless there were a couple of tacklers just about to stop the blue player it is a PT. As for the card, it is a high tackle, but only you saw the force applied and how...

For me red is juggling so is able to be tackled, but has not caught the ball from his original knock on so as it hits blue before he regathers, I would go blue scrum. That was the first I Fri cement...

This was my initial thought, was a ruck created then illegal action by red? But would really need to see it to let you know my split second decision. Just remember unless it was a howler, the ref got...

There was another one recently in pro14 that I thought also was harsh as a rc for a fend that was not elbow either.

Welcome. From your description you seem to have gone off your feet, so by that you are liable to be penalised. Ignore how this is managed in TV rugby. And as said by others the ref may have judged...

For me that is contact with the eye area and RC.

Agree with Zebra and AC - the attacking 9 is not guaranteed a penalty if there is not an opposition free space, just that they will not interfere with play.

If I expected a 1m space, i would agree, but making it clear you expect players to actually be behind the back foot and not with their feet level with the back foot, you get a better game. I would...

In age grade before cards, the referee usually has the power to require a substitution of a player who needs to calm down a bit. That way the individual learns, but the team is not penalised.

Good to hear that Jim has been listening to his coaches. As a general rule a slap from the 9's hands has to be by someone in the ruck, if not yet off the ground then that is handling in the ruck, or...

I'm with PhilE on this. my one caveat would be to have at the very least marched them back 10m for backchat or penalised that behaviour or reversed a penalty before I get to the YC stage.

PDF does not cover blood replacements, which actually would be one reason why you might go back to contested. So second requirement for a prop (blood replacement) and no prop available, AIU your...

I think that is unlikely, but there may be competition regs that effectively do this. AIU under law 3, if you don't have FR replacements you don't get any replacements at all, but there is nothing...

CTPE, I agree with you.

Only if they are in front of a line 10m from where the ball will land. If over 10m, then they do not have to retire, but they cannot advance unless put onside.

GSM highly unlikely for a box...

The player was standing near the LOT. Although a lineout was taken, I think the ref warned the player not to interfere with a QT.

The second try, they looked quite carefully at the contact, and the TMO was quite clear it had not come off a French arm, but was off Mr Lawes arm, then off his head and then gathered by the other...

On the telly!
