Where abouts on the pitch can a scrum take place?
2017
[LAWS]Law 20 Definitions
The middle line of a scrum must not be within 5 metres of the goal line. A scrum
cannot take place within 5 metres of a touchline.[/LAWS]

2018
Law 19.1 covers the location of the scrum , it tells you that scrums take place
[LAWS]In the scrum zone[/LAWS]

Where is the scrum zone ? That's covered in the Definitions

[LAWS]Scrum zone: The area in the field of play where a scrum may take place[/LAWS].
:biggrin:

Correct me if I am wrong .. but I don't think there is anything in the new Law Book that says that scrums are brought in to a minimum 5m from goal line and touchline ? Have they accidentally left that out as well ?

There is also the picture describing the scrum zone in 1.3 Ground showing it within the 5m lines
