Spyro Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I'm pretty sure if you spun the scrum 90 degrees when I played, it was a freekick/pen to the DEFENDING team... I've had plenty of concussions since then so I might be wrong. That (insert shit rugby joke here) stuff wasn't something I really got involved with tbh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an U-19 variation IIRC, which was then implemented at lower levels in Scottish senior rugby (below Prem 3 I think) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder it all seemed like witchcraft! With the touchzone being so big, I would have been tempted to throw that last Italy penalty high into the corner from the place kick) rather than for the posts and maybe catch England out. Surprised it doesn't happen more often in rugby, I always fancied doing it but never got the chance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be ruled a legitimate attempt by the referee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be ruled a legitimate attempt by the referee "Sorry I've got a bit of a slice on today ref" I probably got told that before. It's scary how little I remember from playing, just kept running into people. Before concussion protocols so you'd just look down to see what colour you were wearing and everything else slowly came back to you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've had money on a 15+ point win for England at half time if I didn't have standards but they matched up well.
