What match rules apply at U13 Craven Week?

U13 is primary school rugby, so SA Rugby's Primary School Law Variations (2025) apply, including to provincial teams:

• Two halves of 25 minutes running time (the clock does not stop), with a 5-minute half-time.
• A size 4 ball. Players play barefoot, and mouthguards are compulsory for provincial teams.
• Up to 12 rolling interchanges, with three trained front-row replacements in the squad.
• Yellow card: 5 minutes, and the player may be temporarily replaced. A red-carded player may be replaced immediately.
• Tackles must be below the base of the sternum and above the knees, and sling tackles are banned.
• Scrums: no hit, the contest starts at the put-in, a maximum push of 1.5 m, and no turnover scrums.
• Lineouts must have all seven trained forwards (no short lineouts). A jumper who lands with the ball may not be sacked.
• No roaming coach is allowed at U13.
