ELVs Application Feedback

• Scrum
• Organise thoughts in managing scrum set-up
• Identify 1/2back 1st 5 2nd 5 and aim to sort
  out their set up early so no disruption to
  actually scrum engagement
• Non-feeding 1/2back has 2 options to setup
  sighted
• Manage his 2 options clearly and early
• Can mention his options in pre-match chat
• Avoid scrums on the 22m
• Good to verbalise to 1/2back where scrum is when
  making the mark to avoid debate
• Be aware that 1/2back can move along hindmost
  foot line, but can not come forward until scrum
  is over
• Rely on backs complying to stay 5m (just like 10m
  at lineout) be aware of this as players become
  familiar

• Lineout
• Forget about numbers may initially get players
  still calling numbers simply ignore
• Focus on ball and what happens next
• Quick throw-in (from where i.e. in 22m or taken
  back)
• Not quick throw-in (minimum number of 2 from each
  team at the LOT)
• Players approaching the LOT law still applies
• Set the gap
• Note position of opponent to thrower (minimum 2m
  from LOT x 2m from 5m)
• Receiver options if present no closer than 2m
  to his lineout
• Receiver does not have to be present
• Front players not in 5m move them off the 5m
  line
• Note receiver actions
• Opponent to thrower can move once ball thrown
  may join lineout or be receiver
• 10m of backs until lineout finished

• Carried back
• Awareness of different carried back situations
• Anything the defending team does to take the ball
  into their own 22m area constitutes carried back
• Call out carried back ARs can assist here

• Corner post
• Be aware ball is still alive after ball hits
  corner post
• If ball bounces into touch in-goal field of
  play continues
• If ball bounces into touch in-goal dropout/scrum
  option
• ARs needs to move quickly to be in correct
  position

• Assistant referee
• ARs think right is right
• AR whatever side of field manage right team to
  you
• Greater need to stay up with play be sharp
• Assist referee based on pre-match discussion
• Carried back into 22m assistance is important
• If practical try to avoid placing set pieces on
  the 22m (either inside or outside 22m)
• Manage 5m offside at scrum just like 10m at
  lineout
