Law Quiz<\/strong>
\nStarted with a 20 questions law quiz & review. Take a similar quiz at the IRB Laws website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Field Positioning and other Key Points<\/strong>
\nWe went out to the field and went over positioning with Ed Todd and Paddy Mac.<\/p>\n

Key Points<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

15s<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

7s<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Kick Off Positioning<\/td>\nNear the kicker & in the best position to see the field, observe receivers, observe kicking team & the drop kick.<\/td>\nSame, but be aware that you are always facing\/running North & South in 7s. Recommended that you get a running start as the next play will often happen very quickly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Scrums<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  1. Once you blow your whistle, maintain eye contact with players & face the players; never turn your back.<\/li>\n
  2. Once the teams have gathered for the scrum, focus on the gap between the front rows, initial binding, check alignment of front row players. May also re-inforce pre-brief with SHs (straight feed & maintain space). Recommended positioning is on the side where the ball is being put in. Unless there are issues there is no need to stand on the other side. Also check your back lines to ensure they are 5m.<\/li>\n
  3. Once you & the teams are ready, begin the scrum cadence. Every word you say is a command & must be completed before the next. I.E. Let them complete the \u201ccrouch\u201d or \u201ctouch\u201d before moving on to the next command.<\/li>\n
  4. After engagement. step back a bit so you can see the feed, scrum (flankers) & backlines. Positioning at this point is fluid as you follow the SHs, continue monitoring flankers & backline.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n
Very similar, less people so its easier to manage. Some other points to consider:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Props cannot bind on each other, they must bind to the hooker.<\/li>\n
  2. The ball usually comes out much quicker, so the emphasis is on field positioning. Thinking ahead to where the ball is going to go next. This may mean that you stay on the \u201copen side\u201d of the scrum (where there is more space).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Line outs<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  1. Set & manage the gap. Make sure everyone is 5m and within the 15m.<\/li>\n
  2. If needed, manage your receivers and defending hooker.NOTE: a lineout is not formed until two people from BOTH teams arrive.<\/li>\n
  3. Positioning at the lineout can be 4 different places. Typically at the front and back of the lineout. If you do move to the back of the lineout, be fluid & don\u2019t turn your back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n
Very similar but commonly the lineout is monitored best from the back. Just like scrums this set piece will be quick & you need to be thinking about the next play.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tackle\/Ruck Situation<\/td>\nPositioning for tackle\/ruck is very fluid & can constantly change. Recommended that you position yourself where you can best see the ball, players & arriving players. Typically you want to face the defense so you can manage all the players.NOTE: Ed\/Paddy weighed in on the Anchor or Sealing of the ball. Make sure to watch time 105:12. The final decision was to manage the player that didn\u2019t roll away. This also coincides with the 2012 Game Management Guidelines<\/a>.<\/td>\nSame, but the breakdown in 7s is very critical. You must be at every breakdown to manage it. There is a lower tolerance for tackle & ruck infractions.Recommended positioning is on the side of the offense & facing the defense.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
