just received this "clarification" that I didn't know I needed.
Assume this clarifies that you can bring a kicker on to take a shot at goal....

The no RL scrums is definitely Covid related to reduce contact.
Not seen the leg tackle but these are usually given as they are deliberately targeting the knee area in an upright, stationary tackle...

I don't think it is that black and white Pinky.
If you hand off a would be tackler going low and your open hand is on their head, I think that would be ok.

2 reasons, it creates an unfair contest for the ball, and more importantly it's boring :-)

my mistake, It is in the definitions.
Flying wedge is specific that you cannot pre bind onto a ball carrier a it is dangerous.
I wish they would enforce it.

Well, just watched the premiership highlights again and plenty of tries scored and created by pre-binding, pick and go scenarios.
Law 9.22 Dangerous play specifically says, teams must not use the...

There were a number of short, to the front lines out at the weekend that clearly were thrown straight at the standing first receiver but totally ignored by the ARs

Come on Didds, Irrespective of whether LP cards are right or wrong decisions, are you seriously saying you would not include repeat offences outside the red zone?

kickers have been taking the p*ss for years now, another area of the game which should be tightened up on.

A few seasons ago I remember giving myself the whole of May and June off from keeping fit. Big mistake, took me months to get it back.

Especially true for those of us a little bit long in the...

Managed to keep down to my "fighting" weight most of the time.
Working from home too but take every opportunity for the "legal" hour walk, or get out on my bike. I manage about two 5ks a week too. ...

Just watched the premiership highlights and heard at least 2 refs say "don't pre-bind" during the inevitable pick and goes near the line which nearly always results in a try for the attacking team...

Too many players get away with this foot up jump for the ball.
It should be penalised whether they make contact or not.
Clearly dangerous and the leg /foot is generally deliberately put up there...

They tried it but it got kicked out for some reason.I remember winning a bet on this with a football ref in front of his friends in a bar., cost him £20. he was adamant it never existed in football...

I think the penalty should be awarded in the fist half.
I guess this is another that needs clarifying. as if there is a howling gale blowing straight down the pitch, it could have bearing on when...

Can't remember the player but there was an incident yesterday that just looked wrong to me.
Player called a fair mark but then just put the ball down and waited for his team to get back on side....

I thought refs had been told that if the ball is available, the refs are told to call use it.
Yesterday after a few close calls and charge downs, Wales decided to create a ladder ruck on numerous...

The law examples in the good book show videos of players jumping to catch a kick which is what the law was for, not jumping for other reasons.
I agree with your interpretation Dickie E but I'd like...

Good debate.
So are we clear, a player in possession diving or jumping for the line can be tackled in the air?
But what if that tackle or attempt results in an injury or a player landing on their...

Thinking about the debate the Johnny May try has created I think world rugby need to look at this and clarify what constitutes a fair competition.

If Johnny May had caught the Italian defender...

Watching the games yesterday and most games, you can predict when scrums were going to take 2 minutes or longer.
The referees and authorities need to get a grip of this.

It makes such a boring...

Disagree Flish about penalising the outcome. I thought the jump was dangerous, no need to consider the outcome, it was a penalty for me.
If May had hurdled the defender and there was no contact, we...

Had that many times and sometimes if the opposing captain is quick enough and says "we'll kick off that way" I'll let him get away with it :-)

Agreed Jz558, very noticeable.

Will watch with interest but totally against the red card replacement.
For a cynical team, it's potentially a free hit.
If you know team has a match winning player , with a poor bench, whack...
