The rugby season has got off to a brisk start and it’s wonderful to see two South African teams vying for honours in the top four of the Super 14. This year’s tournament has been an eye-opener, with a record score achieved between the Lions and Chiefs, and much of the elevation in pace and excitement has been ascribed to changes in the implementation of the existing Laws – particularly at scrums, tackles, mauls and off-sides.
