Ba Rugby Union is set to launch the Ba Industries Limited Tikina Championship on September 21. In a recent announcement, the BRU encourages all teams from the Tikina to become acquainted with the regulations established by World Rugby.
The BRU emphasized that managers, coaches, and players should understand the rules regarding the technical zone, which allows a maximum of four individuals, comprising up to two medically trained personnel and two appointed water carriers. While assistant coaches can be included, the head coach is not allowed to be among the designated four. Moreover, no additional persons or players are permitted in the technical zone.
The upcoming 2024 Tikina Championship will implement the World Rugby Law changes introduced in July. These adjustments include updates on offside positioning in front of a kicker, the prohibition of the crocodile roll, and the removal of the scrum option following a free kick.
