IRB Guide to Experimental Law Variations

[verdirame86]

but polynesians are not the best players in the worlds, whites can play better rugby than those fucking polynesians, fucking marxists they always blame white people...

[goodmaro]

Which of these wound up being adopted permanently?

[lifeguru9000]

If you mark it, then you have caught the ball on the full in your 22! You can do what you want kick it out on the full and the lineout will be where the ball crosses the touchline! As long as you didn't carry it into your 22, thats fine!

[chiliadeyes]

What about if I "Mark" and then kick out on the full?

[mayonater69]

i like big tits

[nenno]

the only really bad ELV is the 22 kicking law, this whole "aerial ping-pong" shit is ridiculous

[seamus2k8]

what about the new ruck laws? that is the most confusing part and they've left it out! hands or no hands?

can someone explain>?

[nenno]

never hands, unless you want them broken

[dartmoordog]

This is sheer stupidity to allow the New Zealanders to change the rules to suit their style of play. Surley real rugby people realise what is happening here, they are doing away with their weakneses, including the maul. These rules are only here to help the All Blacks cheat easier and win the next RWC. Mind you, they need all the help they can get for that one!

[fijifellah]

Notice the number of Islanders playing in the All Blacks? All Blacks just can't win without those outsiders. The weak All Blacks "just have to" depend on the Islanders (outsiders) to win every game.

[dartmoordog]

I could not agree more my friend. The Pacific Islanders would be a world force, top five, if the ABs did not ceam of their best. The majority of the ABs success (not inc World Cups hehehe) is down to the natural flair and physicality of the Islanders. The IRB should stop this poaching now.

@dartmoordog Auckland has the largest number of polynesians of any city in the world. Some of the All Blacks best players: Tana Umaga: Samoan descent raised in Wellington. Jonah Lomu: Tongan descent raised in Auckland. Sitiveni Sivivatu: Fijian descent. Yup they're our secret weapon for sure and we're thankful for it

[omegavalderrama]

fuck off that was my opinion i can express it if i want, dont take personal

[willsy92]

Lol in your dreams man

[thehoff]

cheers for posting it helps explain things a bit!

[omegavalderrama]

Umm this always seemed to me like some type of Caveman sport. no offense, thats my opinion.

[berues]

motherfucker.

go fuck urself

[omegavalderrama]

you go fuck your self asshole, that was my fucking opinion, be a man and show respect to others opinions, if you dont you're a fuckin caveman, so SHUT THE FUCK OFF!!

[diggining]

I was fine with the "Elv's" really... Until i played with this rules... Their all okay actually, just except for the 'direct kick from 22m' rule. I think i destroys the point of having the 22m in the first place. It's brilliant that you've to get back behind the 22m mark to kick a direct kick out, and if outside, you've to bounce it. But i don't see why they want to create the new rule. ( I hope this "experiment" stays an experiment. )

JOHN TRAINOR is the BEST CAPTAIN EVER

[jbirdsal]

The refs stink now. How's this going to help?

im saying there stupid some laws they well take time getin used 2 but im sure im not the only 1 who hates a few of these laws and il take it the comment bellow ment to press post a comment instead of reply

[mikeybosson]

Get over it, the players that have used the laws gave them the thumbs up, the fans that have seen them in practice think its a change for the better, the Super 14 was better for it and the Tri Nations is the best one for a long long time. Just accept it and be positive about the laws like the players will be when they have used them.

But don't worry, some things won't change, the Northern Hemisphere is still going to get savaged by the Southern year in year out.

[ciaranbrk]

rugby aint broke it doesent need fixin i like the line out idea hate the maul idea and hate the 5m away from the scurm idea and not been able to clear the ball from the 22 if thrown back has to be right up there wit the maul fuckin tick ideas

[wilemakeit]

Of course not fatty!

[philgbr]

Thats why here that law is only for senior level

[aerowest]

this is ok at pro level but imagin 16 year olds pullin dwn mauls ppl are gonna get crushed

[willsy92]

Your absoloutely correct mate im 16 and i would prefer not to get killed under a collapsing mall. :D

[metallica002]

that law is nt being brought in for youths only starts at u20s

[aerowest]

o rite thanks i didnt know  but it is being used at grass roots level? e.g first team 2nd and 3rds but not colts

[crashball30]

[drdremos]

I don't like how they are trying to say that most of the tries seen there are a direct result of the ELV's... A lot of those would have been tries anyway, either because of poor defense or great plays.

Why do they need to stop the rolling maul? It's what gives the lesser nations an opportunity in the world cup to score against the major rugby nations. Now that one of their main strengths has been taken away, what kind of affect is that going to have????

[b2002do]

It thinks it is a trial for a year. Then i suppose the irb etc will evaluate the situation to see whether they are here to stay

[famousfamos]

the maul idea is stupid, so is the throwing back into the 22

[corny165]

I hope we do get back to proper rugby soon. The SH nations, especially the Aussies, have pushed this bums on seats approach too far. Rugby is what it is, a great game. Doesn't need a drastic overhaul.

[b2002do]

I cannot believe that this has happened to rugby. I feel this is definately a bad thing for the game. Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes, however with these ELVs it may be that the age of 20 stone props etc is on its way out for props who are more mobile and therefore lighter. This may also be the case for all forwards especially as the power play eg. rolling mauls is going to be less effective. It is a shame and i hope that after this trial period is over we will go back to proper rugby.

[corny165]

Have any idea when ELV trial is up?

[kribbi0]

Mmmmh, so they want "helter skelter" plays and tons of tries... why don't they just watch sevens rugby? Stop messing up our Game!
