I am hopefully assisting with our U14s this season so i just had a quick look at the RFU u14 regs
http://www.englandrugby.com/mm/Docu...FURegulation15Appendix8.2016-2017_English.pdf
I actually think the following cannot mean what they seem to be saying?
[LAWS]RFU U14 reg 1. General:
a) The object of the game is to score a try by placing the ball with a
downward pressure on or behind the opponents’ goal line.
[/LAWS]
downward pressure when carrying it included in that then... ??!!
[LAWS]RFU U14 reg. 6. Penalties:
a) Following the below offences, a penalty will be awarded to the nonoffending
team:
...
iv. When a player prevents an opponent from passing the
ball immediately after a tackle.[/LAWS]
So a jackler with hands on the ball is PK'd because the tackled player who hasn't yet released may yet pass the ball?
ah... but....
[LAWS]RFU U14 Reg 8.
l) When the tackle is made and the ball carrier is on the ground,
supporting players may:
i. rip the ball from the ball carrier;[/LAWS]
Ah - so 6.a.iv isn't actually real then? WTF is 6.a.iv about then? (ISTR this is actually replicated min the full laws?!)
[LAWS]RFU U14 Reg 9 Kicking
e) After a try is scored, the scorers attempt to score a goal by taking
a kick at goal; this also applies to a penalty try. [/LAWS]
errr... new trials? yes? no?
[LAWS]10. Actions Inside the 22 Metre Line (the “22”):
a) If the ball is kicked from within the 22 by the defending team and
goes directly into touch, a lineout will be awarded to the non-kicking
team 10 metres in from where the ball crossed the touchline [/LAWS]
I have absolutely no idea what on earth "10 metres in from where the ball crossed the touchline" means - this is a LINEOUT?
I am sure these are oversights/mistakes rather that "real"
Finally
[LAWS]RFU U14 Reg 8. The Tackle, Maul and Ruck:
a) .... Where the ball carrier is taken to ground, the referee will call “Tackle-Release”.[/LAWS]
I'll be listening ;-)
And I appreciate may here won;t be in RFUland anyway, and/or dont; often if at all referee U14s!
