Great post
Thanks

the Premiership is owned by the 12 clubs currently in it + Saracens

correction


...

for me - under current guidelines - that looks like a card

and, indeed, the RFU!

no doubt also the reason that lots of corporate sports and social clubs are/were in SW london

Other factors
The premiership is owned by 13 clubs so it makes no sense having a league of 12

Pro 14 and the French league have 14 members so it will help with calendar synchronisation if...

I have done it twice (I think).
My memory is that - on both occasions - the team awarded the PK were so confused they took the kick as if it was a normal restart.

It's very rare isn't it. If...

we have been through this a few times -- you can't have scrums, mauls, rucks or tackle in the in-goal, so the offside lines that normally form from those all disappear as the ball goes into in goal,...

How do different localities become consistent with eachother ?

They don't guarantee consistency, but they must improve it

yes - although that seems to be exactly what happens in elite rugby where the touchline official seem to let a player on without fanfare or warning (presumably they let the ref know in his earpiece)...

i wish the RFU would develop game management gudielines, I think they are a great idea to prodcue consistency withn the Laws.

This grey area is a great example of how GMG could be useful, by...

the WR clarification is not even useful at elite level because - AIUI - players come on and off the field supervised by the officials, not by the ref. The ref is just told.

yes - you need to balance the non-offending team's right to go quickly, with the YC player's right to come back on.


scenario
- blue have a player in the bin, 11 mins gone
- you award PK to Red...

i agree - I remember going to a talk with Wayne Barnes once - I think the quesiton was about bringing a player back on while the QTI was still a possibility - and he said something like: presumably...

well that's the nub of this isn't it -- when you blow whistle for PK ball is still alive (as they can quick tap). The ball only goes properly dead (for a replacement) when you say it's dead.

bet that hurt !

that's an interesting one, though. If they think for 15s and then ask to make a substitution, you'll say yes and stop the clock at 10.05. And then they say - while we are doing the replacement, can...

these things are so rare anyway- I can't remember ever colliding with a player in goal.

It's hard to think how it would most likely happen?

I think it means you treat it as if the defending player had touched down - so if brought into in goal by attackers = 22m DO, if by the defenders = 5m scrum

For me it's the same: I would let them make a replacement (and then , of course , so can blue)

again I wouldn't be asking them what they are going to do (can't see the point seeing as they are...

sounds really promising. I would like to have a go with that.

Yes.
I feel sure there was some guidance on this, but I can't find it..so

agreed. It's tricky.

but as a start up, in a market where there is no incumbent, isn't the battle won by the app that gets the most installs?
then monetise afterwards.

So perhaps a product...

I dunno, but I think I would use my common sense/instinct and would trust the captain. Especially if it is indeed the 10.

and anyway - if it was the first few minutes of the game how likely is it...

well I wouldn't rule it out, but I can't think of any situations where it's relevant.

and there is a downside.

- perhaps he is watching the oppo and deliberately trying to keep his options...
