An excellent site to test your knowledge

$200 - send me a PM with a couple of ideas of what we could do 'integration' wise.

Add this site to the good links, makes good viewing, not as easy as it seems either.

I tried to get on the learnrugbylaws quiz, but I just got an error message. Could someone else try logging into it. Do I need to tweak my browser, or does it not work for anyone at the moment? Thanks.

Got same problems think site closed down untill sold

 

[Robert Burns]

it has been sol, hopefully, it will be rehosted soon.

 

[Simon Griffiths]

Yep, I've bought it off Boyd (read am in the process of). As we're dealing over a rather large ocean things are a bit slower than they may otherwise have been. As I explained to Rugbyint it should be up and fully running (with new shiny bits) by the beginning of October.

Hi
pls note that flags and posts are different entities.
The law mentions post you mention flag. Two diff things.
If a player comes into contact with a flag, he is Not in touch. He is in touch if he touches the post.

And if anyone saw Ireland's match against Italy, there was a gale blowing down the pitch. At one stage one of the corner flags had blown over horizontally and was obviously stuck in that position. It had blown over into the in-goal area. That's why the law below is ok for a fine day, but there's no way I would penalise someon for touching a flag that is a metre inside the field of play!

22.11b : When a player carrying the ball touches the corner post, the touch-in-goal line, or the dead ball line, or touches anyone or anything beyond those lines, the ball becomes dead. If the ball was played into in-goal by the attacking team, a drop-out shall be awarded to the defending team. If the ball was played into in-goal by the defending team, a 5-meter scrum shall be awarded and the attacking team throws in the ball.

good point. but if in Reds post you read "post" for "flag" then he has a point. If the flag post is leaning well off the vertical, maybe narrowing the effective pitch width by a couple of feet then what should we do when a diving attacker, two feet inside the touch / touch-in-goal line brushes the post on his way to grounding the ball?

Equity might say award the try. If the flag-post had been in its proper vertical orientation then there would have been no issue.

OK Guys! Here's an update for you.

I now have the domain under my control and Boyd has sent the databases etc. which haven't arrived yet (should be next week sometime).

Robert has kindly offered to host the web-site on the same server as Rugby Refs, so they will be (in effect) 'sister sites'. The old domain will remain and you will still be able to use it.

I've over-haulled the look, although as Robert said, it still has similarities to the old site, but it'll be continually developed into a new image.

Hope you like it - I suspect we'll go fully live around about New Year time.

BTW, here's the new LRL logo:

um, just had this question and answer

Gold #8 is charging forward with the ball. Blue #3 runs across and wraps an arm around Gold #8's chest. The momentum causes Blue #3's arm to slide up around Gold #8's neck. You determine that the tackler did not intend to tackle around the neck and that it was not dangerous. Blue turn the ball over and continue on. What do you do?
Incorrect - You answered D.
The correct answer is: A.
10.4e : The referee decides whether or not a tackle is dangerous. The referee takes into account the circumstances, such as the apparent intentions of the tackler, or the nature of the tackle, or the defenseless position of the player being tackled or knocked over.


uh i dont think so plus that is definately not what 10.4 e says

 

[Phil E]

Looks like this question is a bit out of date.
Especially in light of the latest dangerous tackle memo form the IRB.

ROBBIE!!!

 

[Simon Thomas]

Exactly Phil - this Law was changed a few seasons ago by the IRB's Dangerous Tackle guidance memo.
