If the Jackler is there before the attacking team, the ruck hasn't formed and therefore head is allowed to be lower than hips and he is allowed to maintain that position into the ruck. Once the ruck has formed (i.e. player from attacking team has entered the tackle area), then you are correct in stating head must be above hips. More importantly, the roll technique should never be coached as the risk to both players (especially the defenders') ACL is too high. Targetting should under armpit / ribs is a much better and safer method.
the new rules is not allowed anymore!
Yes it is provided the roll commences under the armpits and further back - avoid the neck and a seatbelt wrap -
@@lionsrugbyplayers2047not it's not as you are purposely going to ground which is against the the laws
How many of crock rolls we can see in real games?
Lots of head lower than hips there by the jackler. Not allowed, but not pulled up by the coach.
