Experimental Law Variations......... updated 11/05/08 This season’s County Championship is being used as a laboratory by the International Rugby Board to experiment with some new variations of the laws of the game. The Experimental Law Variations (ELVs) consist of modifications to the Maul, 22 and Breakdown laws that will be trialled in 47 games in the Bill Beaumont Cup, County Championship Shield and County Championship Plate over the five weeks of the tournament from April 28 to May 28. As a self-contained tournament played at the end of the season, the Championship is seen as the ideal vehicle to test three changes to the laws designed to encourage a more open game.
A programme of education – led by former Scotland coach Richie Dixon and ex-international referee Ed Morrison – started last month to make sure coaches, players and officials are all familiar with the variations.
The ELVs being trialled are as follows: The maul can be pulled down without penalty, players may break away and be bound in front of the ball-carrier and joining a maul from behind the back foot will be strictly enforced
If the ball is passed or taken back into the 22 and kicked into touch, the lineout is in line with where the ball was kicked Entering the breakdown ‘through the gate’ will be rigidly enforced, a tackled player must play the ball immediately and must not be prevented doing so by any player off their feet
“The experimental laws are designed to see if there are ways to encourage a more open game and I know the IRB are delighted to be able evaluate them in a competition that involves players from level two downwards in the league structure,” said David Martin, the chairman of the RFU Laws Sub-Committee.
“Rather than continually taking the ball back in the 22 there is now an encouragement for more adventure, the breakdown changes may speed up the supply of ball, and at the moment there is no legal way of stopping a driving maul, so it will be interesting to see the impact the changes make in that area.
