1. when a scrum half touches the ball, its out right, coz i keep getting pinged for tackling him and sum refs say he has 2 pick the ball up?? - Yes it is over when he touches it but alot of refs over protect scrummies, best thing to do is ask him and to be less likely to be pinged than going over the top just wait till he touches it and grab him and drag him into the scrum.

2. as a number 8 if i bind with just one full arm, i am still part of the scrum yeh? - should be part of it properly to start but once ball is in you can pretty much do what you want - as others say get away with what you can.

3.  if i bind with two hands, and leik look up with no shoulder contact, is that legal? - same as b4
