2021/22 League Returns

[observer1]

According to RFU website, Midlands 2 league starts up again on 25th Sept.

Is that a later than usual start to the season?

I have just a very unusual comment in the Moseley matter about the Moseley Oak v Aldridge pre-season friendly.

Seemingly Rich Scott, the Moseley Oak scrum half, got 'a strike against the head'.

So what is unusual about that, one might ask, after all that is the defending hookers job, to strike against the head?

As we all know scrum halves these days, including our own first team scrum half, put the ball directly into the second row - on one occasion against DM the ball seemed to go directly to the number 8 but the referee didn't spot it so play carried on - therefore Rich Scott has either got whopping great long legs, or more likely and highly unusual, the opposition scrum half put the ball in correctly, IE down the middle of the scrum.

I am sure I am not alone in wishing that referees, all referees, would tighten up on this increasingly common practice - unless of course they are told to turn a blind eye to it.
