The authorities baulked on that, after a season of NPC with defending players kicking the ball through the ruck (e.g defenders commiting to a ruck in order to legally slow it or disrupt attacking ball) the morons came up with the farcical response that kicking the ball in a ruck is a penalisable offence .

that was a dog of a season, that tweak in the rules made rucks an absolute mess.

and then we came up against the Froggies who had been playing under the old rules, and they played well and beat us. Grrrr.
