Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
what makes a good leader
From a tap restart may the player who is to first receive the ball start runnning before the player taps the ball? The player receiving the ball is at all times behind the player tapping the ball.
The law says that a forward pass is one "thrown forward" "in the direction of the opponents' goal line" Does that mean that, if the ball is passed and the receiver catches it NEARER to the opponents goal line than from where the ball was passed that the pass was forward? (Leaving to one side any other touches of the ball that might have taken place.) Maybe an example is better. Player 1 passes the ball sideways - releasing it on the 22 metre line. Player 2 (with no other player having touched the ball), running from well behind the 22 metre line, catches the ball when it has travelled sideways but the ball is now 20 metres from the opponents goal line (2 metres further forward from the place that the ball was passed). Is that a forward pass or throw forward? And if not, why not?
I think a pass has to be made from the back of a maul or ruck but I am not clear about the rules at the scrum .
I have read U11 RFU rules but would like clarity on the kick off/re-start. If the ball is knocked on at the re-start is it a/ a scrum put in to the team that knocked on, b/ play continues or c/ scrum put in to attacking team? Thanks for any help.
There should be an easier way to unsubscribe. I signed up for 1 month access but have been debited in the second month. There needs to be clarity that its a recurring payment. Please refund the payment and cancel membership.
Find it hard to follow the description. Would it be possible to explain with further clarity. Perhaps animate it if not have multiple images to depict movements. That would help! Thanks!
