Ummm, no. Firstly "off the ground" and "on the ground" are not the criteria -- it's whether the ball became trapped in a ruck or a maul. Secondly, the "attacking team" does not get the ball after a ruck, the team moving forward do ("attacking team" is determined solely by which half the play is in). The "defending team" do not get the ball after a maul, the team which did not take it in get it. Thirdly, is this really called "ball not released"? I'd say that term applied more often to failure of the ball carrier to release the ball after a tackle. -- GWO 06:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
OK, I've tried to remove the most egregious wrongness, but this page is still all kinds of awful.
Having said that, the sheer number of basic law misconceptions does explain why players are so frequently baffled by decisions. -- GWO (A Ref)
I think it is correct to describe the All-Black haka as a specific type of haka. As I understand it there are many different types of haka and the All Black one is just the most famous (even then the All Blacks vary their haka from time to time). GordyB 09:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't think the current definition of cautioned is correct. Currently it says "A player who deliberately or repeatedly infringes the laws is cautioned, and shown a yellow card. A cautioned player is suspended from playing for ten minutes." Yet I hear commentators all the time saying that a player or team is getting cautioned. This is *never* followed by a yellow card unless they commit the same offence again (and even then sometimes they don't get a yellow card). I don't know where the current definition comes from, but I don't think it's correct. - Shudde talk 08:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Needs to be read in conjunction with Section c)
temporarily suspended.
Useful document (I wonder why I've never been shown in before in 3 course, 3 exams and many society meetings...?). But look on page 35 - the subject heading: CAUTIONS, TEMPORARY SUSPENSION & SEND OFF (Yellow and Red Cards). There are three elements in that heading, not two. Also the section begins:
A referee can't give a "general yellow card", so in this context, "Caution" must mean "warning". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.203.250.250 ( talk) 08:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I've added terms from the rugby union terminology cat. I'm not sure that all of them are used in ru. For example I deleted "Fair catch". If you see any that I have missed then delete them.
I am also not sure about Maori sidestep. Is this term all that common or was it just a throw-away quip? GordyB 13:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Deleted this (twice) because it seems to have come from here [2]. Somebody's in-joke ought not to be here. GordyB 16:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
In fairness the term is used to a fair degree by Irish sports commentators and has begun to appear further afield. Who knows, it might make the OED first. GR 17:36, 25 September 2008 (BST)
"Out-half" still used in Ireland: "PATRICK LAMBIE, the new Springbok out-half"
