[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 995397, member: 56767"] [URL]https://www.the42.ie/world-rugby-post-tries-law-5097296-May2020/[/URL] Now - one guy on there was a bit sharper than the rest and posted: Which does raise a point - are the IRB gonna mandate a size for the post protectors? As otherwise teams could add a large immovable defender onto the try line. Completely against the spirit of the game but not against the letter of the law. [URL]https://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=1&language=EN[/URL] They need to tweak that to "when padding is attached to the goal posts, the horizontal distance from one size of the padding to the other can be no more than 0.6 metres." The current law only talks about the projection of the pad up/down the field, not across the field. [/QUOTE]
