Scoring a try by grounding the ball against the post protector will no longer be possible after the World Rugby Council approved an amendment of the scoring law, rugby union's governing body said in a statement on Tuesday.
World Rugby said that with defending players currently obliged to stay behind the goal-line and post-protector shape and size increasing for welfare reasons, it was increasingly difficult for teams to legally defend this area.The risk of injuries has also increased with defending teams moving post protectors and leaving posts exposed, it added.
