How are you getting on with the new laws. ?Specifically I am interested in the new guidance that the SH may stand a shoulders -width nearer his props at the scrum. Pre season, I was told this should prevent feeding. I watch a lot of rugby. I ref every Saturday and a lot of Sundays. I haven't yet seen any non-straight put-in being spotted or penalised as yet. Twas always thus, at elite level. On the evidence so far, the new law hasnt changed anything.
Scrums are (still) 99% going with the head because there difficulty contesting them.
I just wondered if anyone has decided to penalise feeding more, this season than last ?
BTW - I am not trying to moan as I am just as guilty as other refs that I watch. I haven't changed either . But just genuinely interested if people spotted a change this season compa we to last season.
Cheers
