    [Law] "Why the **** did you do that?"

    So Saturday afternoon, good open game, no foul play (that i saw) in the whole game! L6 match :wink: Part way through the first half, away side have a solid scrum ball held at the #8's feet, scrum half of the same team reaches down and picks the ball up, there's then a call from the pack leader...

    [Law] Sco v Eng - Scrum back?

    Can't see this one has been asked about? But did I see the ref have a bit of a brain fart? Farrell misses pen to left of posts, Hogg takes 22 and kicks it into Eng in-goal, Ford makes it dead (straight away) and ref give an Eng 22 :chin:

    [Tackle] What do you give?

    I've noticed this a lot in recent weeks, not sure why it's becoming more common? Ball carrier is tackled, tackler and ball carrier on the floor. Now either the ball carrier or the first arriving support player (ball carriers side) holds the tackler in? Now of course i know they're trying to...

    https://www.facebook.com/BTSportRugby/videos/1722197327907382/?t=187 Hopefully the above link will work? I have seen this happening for the last few years and have wondered what refs do about it at our level ("they" choose to ignore it at the show biz level)? To me the discription that Rocky...

    [Law] How would you deal with this one?

    https://youtu.be/2zq6B0dLi68 If you want to go to the end of the clip (1:05 on the youtube clock), let me just tell you that Green 13 has already been YC'd for a dangerous tackle...... What would you do about the actions of Foden, trying to mislead the ref?

    [7's/10's] 2017 Law trials

    Can't see this one has been discussed, but when do the new laws for 7's come into force for us mere muggles? I know the press release mentioned 1/1/17 & 1/8/17 for the 15-a-side game (SH & NH), and then it goes on to say that the 7's law trials start for the 2016/17 HSBC series, but is that for...

    [Junior] Age Grade in France

    Didn't think i'd be posting in this section, but...... I'm reffin a junior game this evening, it's a French u13's touring side and just wondered what variations you play there? I know they'll be expected to play to Eng regs, but it's always worth knowing if there are any major differences...

    England v Scotland lifting tackle YC

    That tackle, Red/Yellow/too early/one for the citing ....... So people's thoughts on the early YC in the Eng v Sco match? Looked like he landed on his upper back and then force of the tackle meant he got whiplash for his head to hit the ground too, which I guess resulted in the HIA...

    Can't see if this has been done........ 9.B.4 The opposing team (a) All players of the opposing team must retire to their goal line and must not overstep that line until the kicker begins the approach to kick or starts to kick. When the kicker does this, they may charge or jump to prevent a...

    Drop goal after tap PK

    Hi guys, I've looked for this but can't find it anywhere? Reffin at a 7's tournament at the weekend, side awarded a PK, they tap and pass it into midfield where another player drops a goal, ref disallows it and gives defending side options (22 or scrum where it was "kicked") is this right...

    [Law] Regulation 13 - Problems, or nothing to see here?

    OK, so we've been told by RFU that the "new law" with regards to a "free sub" after foul play is not relevant at our levels (5 - 15 or whatever). So today we get the clarification after the WRU question in relation to a FR player that has to leave the pitch due to foul play and the need to then...
