THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND #2

Rugby rules as they apply to whatever the forwards do.

I have made observations on this in the past. See:

THE ARCANE RULES OF RUGBY

I'm watching the women's world cup rugby this month and still don't get why the referees don't penalise the half backs for obviously putting the ball beneath their own hookers' feet. This used to be a big thing in the past and led to many penalties.

I also don't understand the new rules about getting off the ball after tackles. In the past a ruck would be formed and there would be a scramble to get the ball admittedly with players being 'rucked' out of the way. Nowadays the poor guy with the ball only has a few seconds to get out of the way, while some big fat arse is sitting on him or her, before the bloody ref blows the whistle for a penalty. Sheesh!

I know that you're going to say "Let it go Michael, let it go" again but - sheesh!

My confirmation name is Michael - named after Archangel Michael.
I have to say that when I've been in trouble St Michael the archangel never showed up.
Perhaps he was busy those days.
Maybe Robert can shed some light on this.
