New Year, New Rules

[Miss Wiggle]

I would just like to state that girls can play both codes. League is just Rugby with all the difficult rules taken out so Northerners can understand.

pmsl

so if there's a load of rugby players here then......... post some pics of your legs

i had my first three rugby games today, i am the largest on my team, we have a team of short people, im 6'3" anyways i am the 8 man at the back of the scrum formation, it takes a bit to get used to but once you get it its easy, anyways, im out for the next 5 months or so because of a fractured leg, a guy about 6'6" his knee landed right on my shin, i also got his hip the the face and some one else stepped on my hand, the worst of all i had already broke my leg in the same place. i think that scrumming is fine though.

Nope. Never even heard of it. should we have?

i am the 8 man

...

But let's be honest, the number 8 isn't the most involved of the scrummaging players, now is he?

The rules mostly affect the front rows (who have to pat each other) and the second rows (who have to learn to push a bit later). The back row have never been massively involved in a scrum so much as hanging on it.

wow, this is like reading another language

Regarding the "girls game" crack, I think he meant it was a sissy game, not that only girls play it - ?

Since the start of year 7 (half way through year 8 now)i have have been doing scrums with that rule,it's for safety,and once you get used to it it's great!In year seven i used to play flyhalf then went into backs,i never got any of the ball though greedy forwards. I only play for school,i can play second row,flankers and occasionaly winger.But i love second row for general reasons A few times i even playd ar the front row but am pretty small (smallest forward player).However i only play rugby when we are doing it as school as i can't go to a club because every 2 weeks i go to my mums

well i have played both codes and i think league is a far better game but thats what i have been brought up supporting (im a WIGAN fan) i had to quit rugby because i screwed a cpl of disks up in the bottom of mi back..i still play occasionally with mates but i only play league

Went to the IRB Sevens Saturday and Sunday here in Adelaide. Awesome. I picked up some tips for this years University comps, LOL. Maybe we could do better than 11th/12?

The scrums seem to be doing ok. I think most of the "poor" scrums we see are the result of techniques the teams use, rather than any uniform code of engagement, ie. the "Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage".

I hope to god Australia's scrums are better this year!

tbh you havent really had a whole lot of experience with the old rule to compare though, and the fly-half is in the backs
