| All ELVs will be implemented by the IRFU in Professional and all Domestic competition. However, a decision on the IRFU’s implementation of ELV 17 (‘Pulling down the maul’) at Age Grade level will be made in early July 2008
A full list of ELV’s and their interpretation can be found here
To facilitate a smooth implementation of the ELVs into the Irish Rugby System, the IRFU in conjunction with the Branches will be implementing a series of education initiatives to up skill coaches and referees in the interpretation of the Law variations.
In mid July, the IRFU will be running a series of ELV Seminars for ALL rugby Clubs in the four provinces. By invitation from your Branch, key club coaching staff will be invited to attend a 2 hour ‘Refereeing and ELV Workshop’ conducted by the IRFU Referee department.
Venues for these seminars will be confirmed very shortly
These changes in the laws of the game will have a profound effect on the nature of the game. The IRFU very strongly advise all Club Coaching coordinators to attend their relevant Branch workshop.
