We've just started U10 contested line-outs - can the jumpers move before the ball is thrown (between 2 and 7m obviously)? Continuum doesn't mention not moving but one of our coaches insists they should be static.
please how do idefine the players in the pitchie. who is the flanker, hooker, fly half etc
