Crotch binding permitted in ACTJRU U16 & U18

All referees - please be aware that for 2016 season that ACTJRU U16s and U18 games that players in the scrum are permitted to crotch bind (therefore from U15 down they are not).

Crotch binding is being trialled in a number of junior unions around Australia and is endorsed by the ARU.

This rule is not in the the ACTJRU Rules book but a letter from ARU outlining the inclusion of ACTJRU within the trial is contained in the back of the Team Sheets book (each team must complete a sheet each game and signed by the referee. The referee must keep the yellow copy for their records and possible audit)
