Afternoon all,
A couple of queries about some habits our players (U 10's) have picked up and I'm penalising them for at the moment as it does not look right rather than its against a rule I can find.
The first is a tackle is made and the BC team mate stands over the ball preparing to ruck. An opposition player comes in and pushes the opposition player to the ground or on top of the BC. There is no attempt in the ruck bind on and until there is a push there is no contact. He is entering the ruck as a plan landing. The opposition player then steps over all three players and protects the ball as a counter ruck. I'm currently disputing he can do this as it's dangerous and he is intentionally collapsing the ruck. Is this correct?
The second is after a ruck has happened the Scrum half picks up the ball but has a habit of dropping to his knees and then passing the ball. Other than being a bad habit is he breaking the rules? I think he has the option to pass/getup/release/pass if he is not under pressure from the opposition.
