Clearly World Rugby are going after the caterpillars rucks with Ben O’Keeffe counting down from five seconds this morning to let the scrum-half know to get rid of it .. See it below and the comments underneath ..Â
Still maintain that WR should bring in a law change that says after 5 seconds has elapsed from “Use it!”, the offside line disappears and defending teams can compete for the ball.
You have to laugh at The Caterpillar Ruck. Just pick the ball up correctly and you’re set to kick it earlier, so stop wasting bodies and ask them to do something more constructive!
I thought Matt Carly managed it well yesterday, as soon as the ball was clear of the bodies he called use it so stability wasn’t lost, only time to form the caterpillars
First noticed him doing this 2wks ago, and it’s great – very clear messaging..
