Hi all
I've always worked on the principle that if a ruling is not specifically mentioned in the age grade appendix 15 then the standard laws of the game apply.
Since the new Global Law Trials apply to ALL levels of the game (including age grade rugby) I would expect them to override the relevant sections of appendix 15.
The particular situation that I have in mind (and cropped up for the first time this weekend) is relating to hooking the ball. The U12 age grade appendix states "Only the hookers may strike for the ball". However, if the GLTs apply to all levels then any front row player can strike for the ball.
I'm inclined to go with the latter but wondered how others have interpreted or handled this?
Thanks
