Gents,

For those of you who missed my erudite presentation of the new law
interpretations for this season after training on Tuesday I thought I’d
send out a precis.

Offside at Kick Ahead – all must make an effort to retreat before being
played on-side and rejoining the game, even props
Offside at a Ruck – defending team and attacking team players must be either fully bound i.e. the entire arm, or be standing behind the rear foot of the ruck
Forming a Maul at a line-out - the lifters must not step offside before the formation of a maul, i.e. the defending team must have clear access to the ball carrier
Scrum Engagement - same sequence but more like Crouch, Touch,Paaaaaauuuuusse, Engage if you know what I mean!
Ball on the ground when no tackle has taken place i.e. the ball carriergoes to ground voluntarily – first player there can compete for the ball from any side
The Tackler - must release the ball and the man before playing the ball,i.e. the tackler can’t tackle a man and then rip the ball without first demonstrating a release
Assisting Tackler - must play the ball from the behind the back foot of the ruck and through the gate, this is a change from last season when first man to a ruck could play from anywhere
Enter Through the Gate – obvious but you don’t have to enter the gate perpendicular to it, you can come in at an angle as long as you pass through said gate
Release the Tackled Player – release immediately, obvious really
Falling Over the Ball – bridging is not allowed, or shielding, the game must be played by players on their feet and who show the intention to stay on their feet!

Hope this helps, no excuses now!

Cheers

Ritchie
