World Rugby have announced that it will no longer be possible to score a try by grounding the ball against the post protector. The amendment to Law 8, which will be implemented with immediate effect, was approved by the World Rugby Council during its special meeting held via teleconference and follows a recommendation by the international federation’s rugby committee and specialist laws review group |

About time, with the massive pads (rightly) used these days it is impossible to legally stop an opponent from scoring in this way. |

Other than, as was done last season, the defender lifting the pads up the post thus narrowing the grounding to just the post but, of course, raising the prospect of injury. A sensible change which will now have defence coaches working on strategies to direct attacking ball carriers onto the post protectors!
