hey boys, the laws are changing again, so make note,
from the can-am rugby website:
***********************************************************************************************************
PLEASE NOTE THAT CERTAIN EXPERIMENTAL LAW VARIATIONS (ELVs) WILL BE IN EFFECT IN THE 2008 TOURNAMENT!
Please follow this link to the IRB GUIDE to the ELVs . http://www.canamrugby.com/_uploads/File/IRBELVGuideENFINAL_5097.pdf (I have attached this file also)
Primarily,
there
is now a 5m offside line at scrums...this creates holes in the defense
and some attacking opportunities, we will need to adjust and work this
out early.
Those pesky forwards have been collapsing mauls all along, but now it is legal.
And, no longer need to match numbers in the lineout
read up on the rest
practice becomes very important to take advantage of some of these changes and adjust our tactics.
