I've been to 3 festivals in the last 3 weeks and have played 3 different sets of rules all based around the new kicking rules of play.
Is there any chance of some help clearing up the rules with yes/no and a some explanations as there appears to be some confusion around the definition of a free kick,restarts and open play kicking.
1. With a free kick, the player can choose to kick to themselves and then run with it or pass it to a team mate?
2. With a free kick, the player can kick to touch on the full and then the kicking team restarts play where the ball goes out of play.
3. From a restart, the drop kick bounces in play then goes off at the side, the defending team then gets the ball back with a scrum on half way.
4. A kick is charged down and the ball goes forward and out of play without hitting the ground, a scrum is given to the non kicking team where the kick was blocked.
5. All attempts to catch the ball result in the defending team getting the put in at the scrum, whether its from the restart, a free kick or open play.
Any help with whether these are correct or not would be really helpful as we have our home festival. I have my own opinions on them, but would like to discuss them with you guys.
Many thanks
Dave
