I don't know about this area but the other variations seem straightforward. The new law for the maul looks interesting and I wonder if the "rolling maul" will become extinct.    Report

Not much point in setting one up, if it can just be pulled down. (where is everyone? where's Ulster?) sociability is just a big smile and a big smile is nothing but teeth    Report

Also, three French refs are going to watch the first GP games to see how English refs interpret them. If there is a differnce of interpretation then the French are, apparently, likely to ask that the ELVs be "watered down" so that the French sides don't suffer in the European tournaments. There might be tears!    Report

If different nations are using different watered down versions, what's going to happen in the Heineken cup or the 6N for that matter? Which version will the reffs be reffing? sociability is just a big smile and a big smile is nothing but teeth    Report

Which version will the reffs be reffing?" src="/cs/images/emotions/confused.gif"> The same as happens in the RWC raindog - the SH refs will referee using their version of the rules. Long time no here guys. Hopefully I have time now for a wee yarn and a pint.    Report

Reading the Fans Forum though had me worried as they mostly felt we weren't competitive in the scrums and lineouts and got penalised too often. We'll just have to wait and see.    Report
