Seeking clarification - RFU regs for U15
http://www.englandrugby.com/mm/Docu...RFURegulation15Appendix92016-2017_English.pdf
6. Law 19 Line-Out:
(a) The lineout will be uncontested.
(b) Lifting and supporting is permitted at this age group, i.e. a player
may not bind to a jumper until he has returned to the ground.
(b) seems contradictory? How can a squad lift if the lifters are not grasping the jumper?
I appreciate there is a potential technical definition of "bind" (armpit to wrist in contact above the waist) in play here which may explain the perceived dichotomy.
anybody here ref this age group have any ideas? i appreciate society refs may not generally speaking.
