Apologies if this has been raised before but I recently read this in section 9 (Kicking) for U11s:
So if the player kicks the ball in open play, the non-kicking recipient will always get the scrum (unless an advantage occurs)?
d) Other than from a restart, a free kick or charge down, if from a kick
the ball is played in flight by a player of the non-kicking team and
knocked forward, a scrum will be awarded to the non-kicking team
from where the ball is touched.
e) If from a kick the non-kicking team plays the ball and it goes
backward, advantage can be played to the non-kicking team. Where
no advantage is gained a scrum should be awarded to the nonkicking
team.
So if the player kicks the ball in open play, the non-kicking recipient will always get the scrum (unless an advantage occurs)?
