What`s the rationale for the difference in rules from the running game when a restart is kicked over the dead ball line? i.e. why doesn`t it result in a goal-line dropout?

If it were the same, the conceding team would have a better chance of gaining possession and halting the slaughter. Not just from a long kick-off that goes dead, also from a short kick-off since the opposition would have to put numbers back to defend the dead ball line.

I wondered that, but I think it's too easy to 'kick' it out with a short pitch and only 5 defenders.

Just align the rules for the dead ball line, but not the touchlines.

Bloody hell just seen this score line but didn’t see the match were the French on Mobility Scooters?

France are the reigning world champions. Wales have had a Wheelchair league for 1 year.

They are tackle tags, the defenders have to remove a tag from the ball carriers arm to complete the tackle,the ones on the legs are to replace the ones removed from the arms 

Thanks. It took a couple of games but I've got my head around it now. 

What a magnificent, truly diverse sport. Men, women, physical disability, young and old; all playing the same sport, together, in the same match. Brilliant and brutal.
