U16 Boys County Game

[AlanT]

I have been given Sussex U16B v Hants U16B next week.

Any tips / protcols I should be aware of?

Assuming you are familiar with the law variations concerning under 16,s
lifting in lineout 45 on the wheel, no turnover and the ball must be played at the base of the scrum and only 1.5 on the drive, no squeeze ball and no bridging make sure you
have your running boots on

Last time I did a county game at that age group, they'd clearly been coached to bridge - though perhaps at their academy rather than their county. Ping it early and, importantly, explain they've been coached an illegal tactic. Use cards if necessary - perhaps the message will get through to the county coaches.
