Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A question: in football, if you had a defender sent off early in a game you would normally sacrifice an attacker to bring on a defensive substitute. Are you not allowed to do this in rugby, or have England just chosen not to do this?

Don’t know if this instance was stupid, it was totally accidental coming together.

You can’t tackle upright. The laws are clear.

As for substitutions, it really depends as while there are individual positions, to an extent everyone defends and everyone attacks. England’s 6 - Lawes - can also play second row so a winger filling in at flanker during scrums is not uncommon

No, it was shockingly poor tackling technique, you need to avoid head contact.

If it had been a front row sent off, they'd have had to substitute to bring on another front row. Other than that, yes you can these days.

Players know the laws. They need to go lower

That sending off was about where his head was. Inside not outside. Get your head in the right place. For your safety and the other person.

About This Thread

Maintained by Dai Bank
OK been on walkabout but off we go on 5th Feb with Ireland v Wales.
Hopefully we will all be playing at the correct grounds and with more than a few spectators to cheer, sing, not make too much of an arse of themselves through too much of what makes them lose themselves.

Thread title has been changed so thanks for that whoever updated it.
