Re: Stupid laws world rugby have created in recent years

if all rucks were not straight off the feet you would get a lot more running rugby as the chances of chaos at the breakdown would be higher and people would throw the ball about more One or two more defenders might also contest a ruck that's actually contestable, pulling them out of the defensive l...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

Story is very vague, which makes me suspicious. Is there a criminal case to answer for trying to extort money in exchange for dropping a planning objection In theory, but in practice it'd be implausible.

Re: Stupid laws world rugby have created in recent years

It's called Law. You don't need to release over the try line, hence the call of held up. It's called stupid laws. Hence the thread. That doesn't make it a maul though. It's not stupid unless you don't understand rugby Laws. Once the ball carrier goes to ground in-goal, the ball is dead and the game...

Re: Why have Newcastle been so poor this season?

They don't really sell though. They just shed players at the end of contract or even mid contract recently. There's no windfall from it as there's not a transfer market to speak of in pro rugby. This too. It's not even good business to invest in youth as it is in Wendyball. Just ask Exeter with the...

Re: Why have Newcastle been so poor this season?

Nothing unusual. They have been basement bargain bin for multiple seasons.

They don't bother fielding a team that can win any games because they don't spend a Lenny more than they have.

Re: Stupid laws world rugby have created in recent years

If teams are held up in a maul in the field, they lose possession. It's great that the same thing happens when the ball is over the line. Generally if you lie under over and around the ball on the field of play you are penalised. If you do it in the danger zone cyclically you are carded on top. I w...

The held up over try line drop out.

The ruck - everything about it.
