Grrr.
bleeding IRB
using the search function on the website gives me
[LAWS]Law 3: Number of Players - The Team
3.13 Rolling substitutions
A provision may be introduced that where uncontested scrums are ordered as a result of there being no suitably trained and experienced front row replacement for any reason, the team concerned shall not be entitled to replace the player whose departure caused uncontested scrums.[/LAWS]
but clicking the link leads me to
http://www.irblaws.com/index.php?highlight=uncontested scrums&law=3.13
[LAWS]3.13 Rolling substitutions
A Union may implement rolling substitutions at defined levels of the Game within its jurisdiction. The number of substitutions must not exceed twelve. The administration and rules relating to rolling substitutions are the responsibility of the Union having jurisdiction.[/LAWS]
that must be the change from 2013 to 2014
So have the IRB rescinde the unions right to have man-off ? Perhaps it won't be there next season
