Firstly apologies mikerob - I was 'stuck' thinking 19.4

I will look now at 19.2.

Read again mikerob - change applicable only when ball goes into touch from a knock-on.

When I read the 'who throws in' one I thought it relieved the officials from deciding between scrum and lineout by giving the option to the non-offending team. I always felt first offence should rule but officials seemingly opted out frequently by awarding a lineout. 3. 19.4 (Who throws in): When th...

I can but I will not post it - just in case some fellow user here ID's me to 1F.

Stand easy again.

What's the thinking behind the new "conversion time" proposal? Presumably it removes part of this re conversion kicks: The kicker must take the kick within one minute from the time the kicker has indicated an intention to kick. The intention to kick is signalled by the arrival of the kick...

so the scrum law removes the "pause" and replaces the word "engage" with "set". OK. Probably a good PC-thing to do. Removing that nasty engage word. Only encouraged the front rows to try and make a hit. The new word, set, is much better!! Quick question. Law states tha...
