IRB Ruling in Law-17 |
The RFU has requested a ruling relating to Law 17
A maul is formed with Team A pushing their opponents (Team B) back towards their
own goal line with the ball being clearly visible at the rear of the maul, all the defending
side (Team B) bound to the maul voluntarily exit the maul, has the maul successfully
concluded or is the maul still active?
Law 17 Maul, Definition
A maul occurs when a player carrying the ball is held by one or more opponents, and
one or more of the ball carrier’s team mates bind on the ball carrier. A maul therefore
consists of at least three players, all on their feet; the ball carrier and one player from
each team. All the players involved must be caught in or bound to the maul and must
be on their feet and moving towards a goal line. Open play has ended.
The Designated Members have ruled the following in answer to the question
raised:
The maul has not successfully concluded and it is not still active.
As the players of the team not in possession have all left the maul the maul ceases to
exist and has not ended successfully or unsuccessfully as determined by the definition
of a maul.
The maul has ceased to exist and the ball is now in open play and the relevant Laws
apply |

Law 19.7 Forming a Lineout |
(f) Player between touch and 5 metres. The team not throwing in must have a player standing between the touch line and the 5 metre line on that team’s line of touch when the lineout is formed. That player must stand at least two metres from the five metre line.
At a recent ERC Match Officials Conference held in Dublin agreement between the six unions represented could not be reached on the position of the direct opponent of the player throwing the ball into the lineout. It was agreed to seek confirmation from the iRB and this was sought with immediate effect.
The outcome of the clarification confirmed the direct opponent of the player throwing the ball into the lineout must take up a position at least two metres from the five metre line and he is permitted to stand between his team’s lineout and his team’s 10 metre off side line
Our present interpretation clearly states the direct opponent of the player throwing the ball into the line has to remain in a position close to line of touch.
With effect from Round 1 of the EDF competition, which commences on Friday 3rd October we shall be instructing our officials to implement the iRB’s latest clarification in line with all European Unions.

IRB Directive on dangerous play |
There is a growing concern amongst the medical profession, coaches, players, administrators and judiciary about the conduct of players when entering rucks and mauls and when clearing out players on the fringes of tackles, rucks and mauls which is considered dangerous. A DVD has been produced that demonstrates such actions and includes examples of illegal and/or foul play.
The relevant parts of Law are very specific as detailed below:
Law 10.4 (i) Players must not charge into a ruck or maul without binding onto a player in the ruck or maul.
Law 16.2 (b) A player joining a ruck must bind onto the ruck with at least one arm around the body of a teammate, using the whole arm.
Law 17.4 ( c ) Players joining the Maul
Players joining a maul must do so from behind the foot of the hindmost teammate in the maul. The player may join alongside this player. If the player joins the maul from the opponents side or in front of the hindmost teammate the player is offside.
In addition the Aide Memoire for the IRB Panel referees enacted at RWC 2007 stated:
• Zero tolerance to players who charge into rucks and mauls without binding.
• Zero tolerance to players who clear out opponents not involved in ruck and maul.
Match Officials, Citing Officials and Judicial Officers are requested to be vigilant and apply Law and appropriate sanctions when players are involved in dangerous play of this nature.

Latest ELV Communication |
This is a reminder that the only ELV that does not apply at U19 level is ELV 3 allowing players to pull down a maul.
All other ELVs do apply at U19 level and must be applied.
