Just a point about the first question - why would delaying revert to usual in-goal laws when Law 12.11 specifically excludes the option of a 22DO? The answer which was provided to me is "play on."

Pinky a word of warning about having clear space behind the offside line; you will find some assessors who will mark you down for controlling the space incorrectly (by requiring more than the law...

Crossref,


I'm not quite understanding a tackle starting at one place and ending at another -


1. For a tackle to occur, the ball-carrier is held and brought to ground by one or more...

A player driven back across the 22 but isn't tackled but does pass the ball - No Gain in Ground (line-out in-line with where the kicker was)

What part of the law allows the scrum-half to wander about between the back of the scrum and the offside line 5m back? The Scrum-half has 3 choices follow the attacking scrum-half, go to the back...

"As the defensive players do not participate in the line out they are required to retire to the offside line for non-participates. Sanction: Penalty". This is a paraphrasing of a comment made by a...

I agree with the "Use it" camp, once it has been secured and is available then you have 5 seconds to do something with the ball. Leaving it in the TWOL/Ruck and moving it back is negative play and...

Game of 2 red cards, one is rightfully given for thuggery and the other mitigated down to a yellow card! But I can't see the mitigation������

I think this out of our LEAGUE :biggrin:

Why don't we enforce a clear gap / daylight between the defensive line and the offside line. It will have a similar effect to delaying their movement and might be easier to see infringements.

Interesting thoughts, but I would take this a bit further and combine these?



Try scored;
Clock stops;
Referee consults with AR's and TMO to ensure the try is valid, once it is declare as...

If any of the 4 ways a tackle can occur has happened then you can't push, drag or carry a player to try to get them into touch, but up until this point an opposition player can try to get the ball...

This is just the same as trying to throw the ball over an opponents head with the aim of catching it. There is no attempt to catch the ball only knock it forward - Penalty all day!

Guyseep, it's not necessarily the lifting of the player that is the issue. I see the issue being before that point when the player has made contact with head and neck from a swinging arm.

After re-watching the video by Alain Rolland on TWOL, it was stated that if the player over the ball moves from being over the ball, the offside lines disappear. And from both these pictures it would...

I was told that you can't dive on the ball if it coming out of a ruck because the game is played on your feet and your first attempt should to either try to pick it up or kick it if it clearly out of...

I agree with Crossref that a scrum would seem the most equitable sanction but it could be argued that it is a penalty.
Laws 8.18 to 8.24 (Penalty goal) tells us that there is a definite and clear...

Pinky, I got to discuss this with a national panel referee coach and he said:

"World rugby have been known to use videos to illustate points of law that sometimes show other laws not being...

Pinky, I think we will have to agree to disagree about this; I'm of a firm belief one way and you have a different one. I don't see me getting you to change your interpretation, and that's fine. ...

Pinky, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. I will attempt to explain the interpretation give to me, by more learned people than I, of what the law is trying to say.

The diagram below...

We have all seen the SH going to the other side of the scrum; but if you are going to apply what would seem to be the intent of the law, shouldn't we be managing the SH to stay on the correct side...

I see this as attacker knocks-on in-goal; advantage played; defender grounds the ball, so no advantage gained; go back to the offences that the advantage was for; 5 metre scrum defending team puts...

Does anyone know if the citing officer has chipped in with a charge of making physical contact with a match official? It won’t be the first time a player has ran into a ref and been given a ban!

I've got to agree, the on the run consult was an effective way to confirm that thing that you thought you saw out of the corner of your eye. AR's aren't always going to be able to see these, but the...

Ian, will you please stop providing this type of response, good ideas like that are going to devalue the chats on this forum:sarc:
