Yesterday, refereeing two premiership academy sides.
Home team have a 2nd row in the sin-bin so next scrum numbers have to be matched. Turns out the next scrum is 5m attacking scrum, 5m in from touch too (on the side of the away coach)
I tell green that they have to drop a man from the scrum to match. Coach chirps up from the touch line teliing her #8 to stay put and bind at 8. i tell him that as all are 1 man down you are not permitted to have a #8. "How are we supposed to have a #8 move?" comes the plaintif cry from the touch line
Like its my problem? Why don't these people read the LotG?
