Check the ELV thread in General Rugby

Here's the summary again:

cheers mate,

Fromm reading them

The lineout will be very competitive. Short lineouts will be difficult to do.

Maul will only gain tops 5 to 10 metres.

Country teams will have to get fit.

whats the opinion of the traditional country teams on the new rules? I mean, is it going to suit the traditionally smaller sized dublin teams?

are the country teams actually going to move away from the forward, fighting for every ruck and barrage down the first channel only and always, type of game?

discuss.

You obvioulsy have not watched Navan, Cill Dara, Tullamore etc play. I think the LL Div 1 has shown over the past few seasons that the teams with the best all round games are the successful ones. Fitness will be the key under the ELV's not just how good your backline is.

Teams like Portlaoise, Tullow & Newbridge will have to adapt, but they will know that as well as anybody else & it will be interesting to see what happens.

I was more talking about the longfords, athys,rathdrums,ashbournes of the leagues.

but i take your point.

But i disagree about you including Tullow in the bracket of teams needing to adapt.

We played them last year.. they were very impressive. I think of all the teams who went up to div 1 from 2, they ve the best chance of staying there.

This makes no difference to junior rugby whatsoever - no change. IIRC it is for IRFU appointed officials only.
