Ref's view: Tackle and ball carrier height, 50:22 and no 5m scrums
Published 4 years, 10 months ago
Description
Dan speaks to RFU national panel referee Adam Wookey about age grade tackle height changes, ball carrier height laws plus the new 50:22 and drop outs instead of 5m scrums being trialled at international rugby.
They discuss:
- How to referee the tackle height
- What does the ball carrier height into contact mean
- What do both look like
- Why a community referee has one shot, so best ways to deal with that
- How to referee this area sympathetically but firmly
- What are the new laws around the 50:22 kick and how referee that
- What are the new laws around the ball being held up over the line
- How both might allow the game to work more effectively
