2:02 A place-kick-free-kick HAS happened in a Baa-Baas game. It was against the All Blacks in 2017 and it (very flukily) led to a 70m try.
I just watched it after reading your comment. That was pretty neat
If the ball goes into touch or touch-in-goal after free kick then normal laws for the goes into touch or touch-in-goal after the kick in open play are applicable.
It means the possibility for other team for a quick throw , opponent’s lineout. If the kick was from the 22 - territory advantage, if not and it was direct into touch - lineout from the place of kick.
If the ball goes into touch-in-goal or dead ball line - 22 or scrum from the place of kick (if the ball didn’t touched opponent). If touched before the goal line - scrum 5m from the goal line, touched in-goal - only 22.
One unknown aspect of the law is that the ball must be put into the scrum straight. However, no one knows this law even World Rugby so it is never enforced! 😊
Yeah, I don’t understand this one. The scrum is meant to be a contest. Feeding the ball into the second row eliminates the hooker strike, the contest for possession, and the chance for the non-feeding team to get the ball back. Scrum halves love it because they almost always get clean possession. The strike against the head is very rare now. Hookers don’t even bother. It’s one of the reasons we see so many collapsed scrums. That’s the only way to slow down the attack, but it is deadly boring even for forwards.
they know the rule but just decided it would be better entertainment not to enforce it.
Yeah! I was always corrected by the coach or my teammates that "why do you throw the ball so straight", i never understood why no one says anything about "always throw the ball to your side"
From what I remember of the laws regarding opting to kick a free kick. If you opt to kick the ball to touch the same rules apply as if you're clearing the ball during open play. If the free kick is taken behind the 22 it can be kicked directly into touch. If you opt for the kick outside of your own 22 and you kick it out on the full, the lineout takes place where the ball was kicked from. When a free kick is kicked into touch, it's the opposition's throw into the lineout. I'm not sure if you can try and go for a 50/22 from a free kick (you'd have to be really accurate because the opposition will guard the touch lines). My opinion, if you're outside your own 22, take a scrum or a quick tap.
To clarify with the charging of the free kick - you don't get a scrum for charging the kick down (it's just play on). You get a scrum if you prevent the opposition from taking the free kick - either you block them from reaching the mark or you get them to panic and run off without tapping yhe ball.
Taking a sidestep to avoid the charge down (kind of double pump action or dummy kick) is as good as kick being prevented. Happened to the US against Ireland couple World Cups back. Somehow this stuck to my mind 😅
I went to that LEIvEDI game. the armchair know it all behind me laid into Raynal 'he doesn't even know the rules' (sic) when he awarded the scrum from the squint line out in the red.
Your channel is criminally underrated my man! 💯
Thanks mate. Really liked your Scotland depth video. Was very interesting to see how reliant on some players we were
Wayne Barnes "if i catch you being Irish again its a straight red".
Trivia - until 1973 you could score by punting the ball between the poles. I don’t think you could do it from anywhere on the pitch.
If a penalty or a free-kick is place-kicked into touch, a scrum results. Laws 20.5 to 20.11 cover the taking of a penalty or free-kick and the only sanction (when applicable) is scrum.
on the front row replacement law, there are a couple of extra caveats that people don't realise, and try to be sneaky (certainly in the amateur club game).
with 4 front row in the squad, you have to be able to replace a prop or a hooker
with 5 front row in the squad, you have to be able to replace a hooker and either prop (so you can't run with two props on the bench)
and with 6 front row in the squad, you have to be able to replace loose head, tight head and hooker (so you can't have 3 hookers and 3 props in the squad for example)
1st one is because its a freekick, you can't kick a freekick out of play without turning over possession. You can drop the ball on to the boot but if you kick it out, like in a drop goal, it turns over.
2nd one, see the 1st one, you still can't score from it as the ball crossing any line, off the pitch, causes a turnover.
3rd one, comes down to if you are carrying the ball or not. If you are carrying the ball, you are considered to be carrying it in to touch, else the player enclosure law comes into effect. i.e. any active player can dot the ball down. Even as a player, i'd dive on it, because thats how you are taught.
4th is actually pretty well known. Games dont happen (Aren't enjoyable) without front row. So you can have additional players to keep the game going (if you're a decent team, which is every non-league team, you lend the opposition props as well). Theres a reason props, centres and flankers are athletic (and used to be similar builders way back when). Flankers would train to play prop and vice versa, centres would learn to play flanker and vice versa, in case of injuries and cards. You might not be good but rugby is about doing the job in front of you. I can't be the only one to see a prop play centre or kick at goal either?
5th is pretty new because, ex-player will know, the moment you scrum gets on top, some teams, they know who, will claim they haven't got any props. They'll sling the ball to the whippets, which ruins the game. Ask yourself, unless it due to commitment, would you go back and play a club like that. What would be more interesting is looking at the laws to see if you have to have 8 in a scrum at all times. I'm not 100% sure, thats there.
6th is also pretty well known, you tap and take a step, the ball is live, all opposition must be back 10m before coming forward though
7th, also well known. Penalties don't end games, unless they are kicked at goal, tapped as a quick play and then kicked out. Lineouts, Scrums, kick at goal, tap penalties or kick to touch can be called after a penalty is awarded. If the game is tight, you have a penalty (are out of range) and have a dominate scrum, scrummaging can easily bring you another penalty, too many penalties can cause a warming or card for the opposition. A good scrum can keep the opposition front row from collapsing (or you can walk over them, which is always funny, gets people off the ground real quick).
Okay, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Is it not possible to drop a goal and for the ball to remain in the in-goal area and not go dead? If there's a large try area and a lot of wind for example or the ball just bounces backwards.
I'd be curious to know which Law book you're quoting from? The Law numbers match up, but the words are more like the old format, rather than the condensed/simplified Laws that have been around for a few years now.
I was just using what was on the laws section of the world rugby website and I also watched some of Wayne barnes videos about some of the laws. Specifically for the uncontested scrum protocols. That’s where I found the graphic at 4:39 hope that helps 😃
Sorry for being a bit thick 😶
Could someone explain the uncontested scrum rule?
I thought you just had to shift a back row into the forward pack, because uncontested means they do not push, so they don't harm the light back row....
I find the number of rules that are not applied in rugby, most interesting. I played first class rugby in the 80's at position hooker. A. I recently read the rule that the ball should still be thrown into the scrum in the middle and straight. It simply does not get applied. Today the scrumhalf's can just as well throw the ball straight to his backline. This is funny. No art for the hooker to win a tight head. Teams should select three props. B. The rule is when any player throws the ball into a line out, his feet should be outside the playing field. I saw some players standing inside the line when they throw the ball in. C. At kick offs players are almost always in front of the ball, without action from referees. D. If the spot where a receiver of a ball receives the ball, is in front of the spot where the player passed the ball to him, it is a forward pass. Some "clever" people reason that the direction of the hands establish a forward pass or not. That is not the rule. It seems like a bit of chaos to me. Every rugby match I watch, these rules get broken all the time.
I'm not sure about that last one. The only way that a player would catch the ball behind where the thrower was is if they throw backwards with more momentum than they're running with. If you're sprinting at 20mph, you can pretty much guarantee that the ball will go forwards before it's caught. I think that rule is ignored because whoever wrote it didn't understand basic physics.
Have a feeling this video might have a finite validity, what with the constant tinkering of the laws! But seriously, good video. 👍
The one rule i didnt lnow until last summer is that an offside player at a penalty can be put onside by an advancing onside player
2.50 George North is over the dead ball line. Is this the same as touch in goal - and if so why?
Important caveat with dropping a player as a result of uncontested scrums, so people don't get confused at the community rugby level:
The "player-off rule" states that "a player whose departure has caused the referee to order uncontested scrums cannot be replaced." The wording is important - you can't REPLACE them, not you drop a player. In matches with squads of 22 players or fewer, this means that uncontested scrums will only ever cause a team to go down to 14 players - if the prop is injured then you can't replace them like with a normal injury and you go down to 14. If a prop is yellow or red carded, then you can't REPLACE them... which you couldn't do anyway, so you still only go down to 14 players.
HOWEVER, for some unknown reason World Rugby have decided that in matches with 23-player squads ONLY, uncontested scrums which result from a red or yellow card in either or both of the first or second incident DOES mean that you drop an extra player i.e. would go down to 13 etc.
I knew about the uncontested scrum rule because of the Italy Ireland game
You forgot: No sealing off as a South African.
South Africans attempt to blame anyone but the referee challenge (impossible)
The player didn't carry it into goal, only pressed down on it, same as in the clip, ball was still in motion
Min: 2.36 Munster vs Sharks Player is not placing his hand on the ball whilst it is on the ground he is 1st "grabbing/ thus holding" the ball in the air then placing it down, ie he is grounding the ball. There is a difference when the ball is off the ground verses on the ground.
GROUNDING THE BALL
Law 4. When an attacking player holding the ball grounds the ball in in-goal and
simultaneously makes contact with the touch-in-goal line or the dead-ball line
(or anywhere beyond either), a 22-metre drop-out is awarded to the defending
team.
So not a try and was incorrectly awarded to Munster.
In addition the cost of this mistake by the Scottish refs cost the Sharks dearly place in the Heinken Champs Cup next yr....ouch !! TMO must have been asleep.
What about a charge down resulting in no offside?
This is widely misunderstood. Players on the kicking team who are in front of the kicker, offside, are put onside by the charge down. Players on the non-kicking team who are in front of the charge down are offside in general play in the same way as if their team knocked on. So yes, everyone from the kicking team is onside after a charge down, but not necessarily everyone on the non-kicking team.
for about 20 years or more you cannot place kick for touvh
I'm an American Football 🏈 fan living in Northern Ireland. Some people have said to me "American Football 🏈 is too complicated " but I couldn't make head nor tail of the rules in this video. On the subject of touchdowns v tries I think the rules for breaking the goal line touchdowns are simpler than tries. If a player's knee comes in contact with the ground before the ball breaks the goal line a touchdown is not scored whereas a rugby player can fall on the ground, slide over the try line, all in one movement(what ever that means) and he scores a try. I know that a player doesn't have to place the ball on the ground to score a"Touchdown" but if it was called a" breaking the line before the knees down or a "catching a forward pass in the endzone with both feet inbounds" it would be too much of a mouthful. 😂🤪
None of the seven laws were a mystery. Its basic refereeing .
You forgot to add. Pacific Islanders are not allowed to tackle hard and not allowed to man handle anglo teams esp the wallabies, all blacks, poms
Hardly call the ABs Anglo Saxon
You haven't seen the ABs ethnic mix, have you?.😂😂😂😂
@@nepiahemopo1702 the organisation is ran by anglo
Major law : non commonwealth teams shoud not win and referees must do their best to avoid their victory
In soccer, you can't touch the ball with your hand... and that's it.
Unless you've got on a different colour shirt, while wearing some gloves and standing between two sticks with a bit of netting behind you, then you can pick it up as much as you like but only in a certain designated area of the pitch and only hold it for 6 seconds max.
Oh but of course you can't handle it if it's thrown back to you from a throw in, or kicked back to you from a teammate with the foot. Pass backs via other parts of your teamates body are fine though. Simples! 😉
Then there the offside rule, shame there not a rule saying players can't pretend to be injured when another player touches them.
… unless you are maradonna. Then you are permitted to score goals at the Witkd Cup with your hands.
Thank God we aren’t talking about soccer.
Huh?
