POINTS AS TO RULES. Question. —‘‘Can a forward on the sidr < f the scrum swing his body and legs forwa.il and kick the bail back iiit ; Ihe scrum so as to prevent the imposing half-back from securing the ball; the forward mentioned stil' keeping one hand on his forwards in the pa.ek. ” .Answer. —No. The action (I’ 1; c player mentioned interferes with the tight formation of the scrum and is an in fi-ingemcnt of the first rule of the scrum, where it refers to players' binding together. The forwards must keep a light scrum until Ihe ball <■<' clear. The whole spirit of the rule is in. tended to allow the ball to come out clear, so that a passing movoimmt may eventuate or to otherwise bring the 1 "H into open fday. Question. —When is an off_si<ie player standing within the five yard limit placed on.side.’’ ''wwer. —The rule states definitely that a player standing within the- fineyard limit cannot any circumstances be placed on_side. which means that such oflf.side player has committed a broach and m.nv be penalised by a free kick. Bui in order not to pull Gio game up unnecessarily, the Referee may allow play to continue bv exorcising the Advantage Rule. Should the Referee do this, the off-side player until he is five clear yards away from him. N.Z. COUNCIL AT LUTING. AUCKLAND, .Tune 19.
