I take notes, so when I had a lecture by the opposition HC over a call being wrong I calmly nodded wisely and scribbled.
Anyway here's the scenario which isn't really specific to U11 NRoP;
Red BC collides with Green player, green immediately starts to strip the ball and there's a bit of heave ho before others join, no maul has been formed, the green player doesn't have hold of the red BC. The red bc goes off his feet, hips down too, but still has hold of the ball. The green player shows great strength doesn't go off his feet but still has a tight grip on the ball. (Hopefully that makes sense)
I blew for red not releasing the ball. The lecture I had was that both players must release.
If green had gone off his feet then yes or if green had hold of red he'd be a tackler and need to release the player.
Thoughts?
Dave.
