Well these are all taken from multiple sources / websites that have video postings on youtube, but if you come across any / remember any websites, feel free to post, would be great to get a well rounded tutorial on the techniques and rules of the game from a player, coaching, refereeing and spectactor side of things. A useful resource to have online and good for newcomers to learn some of the basics and rules, and also interesting to learn about other positions and functions involved to improve your own game, or even if you're looking for a new position or role in a team.

Haha, big time! While his explenation is good, his execution is sh*te!! Couldn't find a better video though, and I was looking for some basic vids to cover most aspects of the game.

Funny thing is, I didn't even realise and still don't know why the competing at the breakdown is out of date, almost impossible to keep up with those changes, but my understanding was first man to tackle area / tackler, as long as on his feet, and before a maul has formed and while the ball is not on the ground (no playing the ball with hands on the deck), can legally rip the ball from the man in possession, which is more or less what is explained in the video...

Can someone update me on the current interpritation of this law?

Magaa

you are god.

ive been searching for vids like this
