New Laws Now in Place
February brings World Rugby’s adjustments to the Rugby Laws in the Northern Hemisphere.
Most of the changes this year as minor and won’t affect players all very much.
Front Row
The replacement laws for front row players have been changed only slightly and one part (uncontested scrums) separated out into its own section.
Lamositele Making His Mark
In the recent Saracens 19-13 win over Bath in the Aviva Premiership in England, USA players had a big influence - Hayden Smith came on to solidify the lineout, and Chris Wyles made several big players throughout the game, but the man who really stood out was Titi Lamositele.
