So they are puzzling me - hard to understand the logic of them
[LAWS]
Play is restarted with a goal line drop-out when:
A) The ball is played or taken into in-goal by an attacking player and is held up by an opponent.
B) An attacking kick, other than a kick-off, restart kick following a score, drop goal or penalty attempt, is grounded by the defending team in their own in-goal.
C) An attacking player knocks on in the opponents’ in-goal.
[/LAWS]
A - was previously an attacking 5m scrum
B - was previously a 22m DO
C - was previously a defending 5m scrum
So the new law is -
A - definitely better for the defenders
B - definitely better for the attackers
C - i think better for the defenders (or is it ?)
I am struggling to see the over-arching logic. Help me out ?
