DO YOU KNOW THE LAWS OF THE GAME?
How many of you know that the mini/midi/junior game is very different to the senior game that we alll watch on the television?
-
Do you know where the offside line is for an un-contested line-out or scrum at U9 level?
-
Do you know the definition of a high tackle at U10 level?
-
Do you know how many players are in the U11s and U12s Teams?
-
Do you know at what age the players are allowed to hand-off a player or kick the ball?
Most sideline pundits do not know the answers to all of these questions and assume that it is the same as senior rugby; and to make it worse, the law changes at each age group!! So why not click on the link below and read yourself into the game that you will be watching or playing this season.
If you are really brave, attempt the rule quiz as well - but don't challenge your child for more than a bag of crisps....you might just lose!!!
