The ORU has adopted recent changes to the World Rugby Laws.

Rugby Ontario has released two documents describing new and updated Laws for 2016. These changes are intended to improve the flow of the game and increase safety.

The document also highlights existing rules that the ORU would like to emphasize. This usually means the referees will be asked to specifically look out for infringements related to those areas.

Forwards: See important changes to the scrum, line out and mauls.

All: See updates and emphasis on rucks; clarification of tackler release; playing advantage.

Two documents are attached. One is the list of new rules. The other provides an expanded explanation of the changes.
