[edit] Lifting
I was under the impression that the laws had been changed to allow lifting, but I'm not sure whether it has or whether it's equivalent to the league requirement that scrums not be fed. Anyone know? Hig Hertenfleurst 13:15, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
AFAIK you can support but you cannot lift. This was a rule I think that the South Africans developed during their exile from international rugby and was adopted by the IRB shortly after their return.GordyB 13:28, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- That's correct. And that sentence about "more in the breach than the observance" is lovely. -- GWO
