    [Line out] Crusaders doing what they do best

    Crusaders doing what they do best. Should it really be allowed? Lineout: Taufua goes forward and right Barrett heads off forward and right Blackadder fakes a jump and heads off forward and right All nicely in position for the catch and drive. And where's the ball? Still in Codie Taylor's...

    [Line out] Leaving the Lineout?

    I see it most obviously when watching the Crusaders, as precursor to setting up the line out drive, but shouldn't this be considered leaving the lineout? It is neither changing position nor is it peeling. Stamping it out would certainly make for a more level playing field when trying to...

    Referees eyeware

    I need to find out about what I can and cannot wear as regards correcting my vision. I am unable to wear contacts, so what is the guidance for refs on this? I am thinking I have never seen a ref wearing either specs or anything else? But then I have never really been looking.
