Problem with the current ruck law is how against counter rucking it is . Any slight interference and boom penalized . I believe the previous was that it was contestable until either team counter rucks or the ball doesnt come out but now if a ruck is formed ball is visible than its done

Been playing rugby for 7 years but still confused about the rules

no mention of what the scrum objective is, i still don't know.. Who throws the ball in and why? How do you "win" a scrum?

i don't remember any of these rules when i played, but that was 35 years ago.. Have lots of new rules been added?

Freshing old information, thank you.

you can not choose to receive the ball. you can choose to kick or choose ends. 1a is not an option, its an outcome of choosing ends.

So if my hands touch the ground is it off feet

So when I was in the ruck and their hooker stood on my neck intentionally that’s not legal?

This seems silly and very unnecessary for something as simple as a reset.

I get this. But what happens when the referee throws the ball in between

Great video, short and precise.

Does the ball need to be thrown as close to the center of the tunnel as possible? Past RWC I kept seeing scrummys throw it in directly to their front row

but why

I have never played rugby but like to watch the game live. Always thought that the ref was against the team I support. Thanks to this I have some understanding.

Thanks my bro 😊

Love Rugby❤

Over the poles love it 😂😂

Very well expained and illustrated

Watching All out the anime and got me wondering about Knock and what follows after it! Great video and thank you!

We were winning against SA in semis up until the final 10 mins, then steward did the shitest kick ever and SA got the ball and scored the tri

I am a hooker and I was wondering if you could make a more in-depth video about the rules the hooker should follow.

So, how come in the NRL, the scrum is not played that way?

Hi mate. Do you know what happens if you call an ilegal mark? so for example, if a player receives the kick and passes the ball and for some reason the guy that receives the ball calls for a mark (happened in a practice of mine lol). I said the ref would give a freekick for the opposing team but they said that it would just be play on and the ref would do nothing

Helpfull🎉

can in rugby 7's when a penalty is awarded, drop kick the ball? as a way to kick for goal?

Just a small correction - Law 12.10 - if the kickoff (probably, because of wind) goes beyond the kickers OWN dead ball line, a 5m scrum is awarded to the opposition. Not at the centreline as mentioned at 06:25 in your video. Thanks for the great video's - also of good use to newer referees! 😎

If the thrower from a lineout have to have his feet on the sideline before the throw,or is it the fact it has to go 5m on the lineout Thanks

Yo, your intro song slaps, what is the name of the song?

Hi, You mention the players can go past the mark of touch when the lineout ends, but the law says "when the ball has been thrown in and touched a player or the ground". Is this what you meant?

Over and again in video examples we see players joining the ruck, that is slamming an opposing player, without attempt to bind FIRST with a player on one's own side. That at the very least should be known as a "shoulder charge" which wouldn't be allowed in a tackle where presumably the to be tackler player had some defense ie he saw the tackle coming or he could fend or prepare for contact. Not so a player engaged in a ruck who is then targeted by a charge by a player "joining the ruck". If he is not first bound, or doing so "simultaneously" he is NOT "joining the ruck". Rugby union officials make much about the "safety of players", but this is an egregious oversight that is let go 30 times a match.

This becomes another foolishness or inconsistency in the Laws or their interpretation. If the tackled player does not make an attempt to roll out of the way once tackled, he becomes a blocker as soon as the ball is released as he is in front of the ball ie offside. Most difficult for a defending side to push over the ball when tackled player is lying in front of it. Decades ago lying around the ball, cradling it as is now done in one's body, was considered "dangerous play" as the player on the ground would be "rucked out" ie stepped on (frequently) as a warning not to be so foolish ( or to stop cheating the Laws). This was the "manly" arts of the loose play which should have been whistled up as a penalty as the alternative was available and still should be: defenders bind and drive OVER the tackled player and HEEL the ball back into the prone body...ie prone body is offside and so a penalty results if no further advantage is obtained by the defending side. This leaves open a number of options for general play; Foremost, is that the defending side having rucked over the ball can keep the ruck moving forward requiring the NOW defenders ( those who have lost the ball) to create their own opposing ruck formation thus creating space about the field for the ball to be run and passed. Again, in the long look, requiring less "bash" and bulk to penetrate defense and thus skill and fitness to dominate rather than bulk. Game becomes more of invite to all levels of human form and skill. I wish to believe that audience for rugby is more moved by the swift and adept movement of the ball and runners running than bulked up bashers bashing. The video's of "Rugby's Greatest Hits", "Rugby's Biggest Punch UPS" all that sort of trash might fade from existence ( the National Hockey League in US and Canada saw revenues decline after the 1970;s when punch ups were heralded as "just hockey") and speed and skill become the keynotes to a once beautiful game.

In examples above, once the ball is moved to a player at the back of the maul, all players in front are offside or blocking. Maul is over once player who took the ball into a tackle has passed or handed it back as no longer are players from opposing sides bound round the man on his feet carrying the ball. This is a very POOR interpretation of English as a common language. If the ball was brought to the ground, ie turned into a ruck, fair enough, a type of "loose scrum", but this "hook and ladder" is clearly a massive "blocking" or "offside" that is let go. Why? It was not always the case but seems to have crept nastily into the game since 2000, maybe even earlier when the game became pro. Whole point of fluid rugby should be equal access to the ball and the fitter, swifter, more skilled players or sides, or units won the equal access. Here there is no access to the ball as players in front of the last player are blocking access by their bodies being in front of the ball when their team is in possession, ie once again, offside. I find this and other such "oversights" a detraction to the game. If one can't have a chance at winning the ball, one becomes part of the "spread defense" which means no space in which to move the ball. Defense must then be bashed through ( "win the collision") and the game becomes about bulk and brawn rather than a fluid game of ball movement more akin to basketball then American football. And the injuries now are in access of American football which has on going lawsuits against the NFL for insufficient protection of the players...Avg life expectancy of one who player at least 5 years in the NFL....54 ( of course this is not cause -effect reasoning, but it is a consideration given all the CTE evidence....and pro rugby is now noted by NFL as having more head and neck injuries....ie "we're not that bad..."

Many mauls are joined unLawfully, and without a bind to anyone on their own side. One can see this over and again in 6 Nations recent competition....It amounts to a shoulder charge of an opposing player who is NOT in possession of the ball. I would rather the Law read that in a maul or a ruck one cannot make contact with a player on the opposing side unless Bound up to the armpit with a member of their own team who is part of the ruck or maul or is process of forming a ruck or maul. Was a time when second rows roamed the pitch within an arm length of each other so that they could link to join a ruck or maul with doubled force.

6 4 5 7 ;)

Thank you, this helped

Also isn't an offence being committed right at the beginning in most cases when the player is tackled, falls to the ground and then moves the ball backwards nearer to his teammates. Surely once you are tackled to the ground you have to release the ball and certainly not move it nearer to your teammates. Either one of these is a penalty, yes?

Good video. Thank you

Thank you.Play is so much clearer now.

Just another note! In the "unplayable maul after openplay kick" scenario. Australia kicked and caught the ball before it was held up and the maul formed. In this scenario the scrum will be awarded to wales (Law 16.18) If a maul is formed immediately after a player has directly caught an opponentís kick in open play, a scrum that is awarded for any of the above reasons will be to the team of the ball catcher. Must be an oppenents kick!

Yello, thanks for the detailed explanation and all the helping tools. Just a side note! You referred to the attacking team as the team who has the ball, which is incorrect. The attacking team is the opposition to the team in whose half play is taking place. Meaning if you have the ball in your own half you are then the defending team. ;) Thanks again for all the videos and content.

If a defending team member is trying to intercept a pass and it bounces off his hand in the direction of his goal line is that a knock on to?

What does kicking directly into touch look like?

What’s the difference between a penalty and a free kick?

Do you need to wait for the ref to say use it before taking the ball?

What does a pig mean

if I kick straight to touch does it have to be in our defense field or can I kick it to the opponent's defense field touch?

Super handy, as an aspiring ref! Any chance of a video on common examples of foul play?

Congratulations to the South African Springboks team for winning the rugby championship. Love from Mumbai...❤
