During an under 16's game the defending team had a flanker sin binned.In the resulting scrum(on there 5m line) the ref told us to remove a flanker from the pack as the scrum needs to be of equal numbers. Is this right or should they have used a back to replace the flanker?

The Ref is correct to drop a player from the scrum

Should be a 3/4 formation for both teams (no number 8) if one forward missing.

If 2 forwards missining on the same side should be 3/2/1 formation for both teams.

3 forwards missing 3/2 formation both sides.

IRB u19's Law variation.

Hope this helps
