[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 644601, member: 71068"] I think the 2/5 metre rule would be easy to enforce, if you look at official touch rugby you have two refs on the pitch, one refs the play the ball the other the offside line - i.e gets back onside and everyone in front of him is offside. Now if you used your touch judges to ref the offside line instead of a second ref - he moves back two-three meters, players must be in alignment - make it the Touch Judge to the left so players always know who to align on. Simple. but like i said i don't think it will lead to anything but teams getting over the gain line a bit quicker, it won't lead to open play - look at Rugby league with a 10 metre standoff, they play a punch pattern the majority of the time off early phases. I like Number three, but the 40-20 style kick leaves me a bit cold. Tactical kicking is already a huge part of Union, i don't think getting the possession from open play with a kick will lead to anything other then a boot every time we hit the half way area. [/QUOTE]
