Scrum
:
A
scrum
is a means of
restarting play after a
minor infringement.
Involves 8 players from
each team, commonly
awarded when the ball is
knocked or passed
forward.
Maul
:
A
maul
is
when you
take the ball into
play and keep it
off the ground
during contact. The person holding the
ball cannot run because three or more
players on his team and at least one
player from the opposing team surround
and hold him. The idea is to move the
entire formation towards the try line and
then get the ball out in order to score
Lineout
:
A lineout
is
the means
by which the ball is
put back into play
after it has gone into
touch (over the
sidelines)
Why did the whistle blow?
Offside
:
•
Ball establishes offside line, which is continually
moving
•
Players are not permitted to participate in play if on
the opposing team’s side of the ball
•
Simply being offside is not a penalty, must attempt to
participate from an offside position to be offside
Why did the whistle blow?
Knock-on
:
•
When a player mishandles the ball; drops or allows
ball to rebound off a hand or arm and the ball travels
forward
•
Punishable by a scrum to the opposition
Why did the whistle blow?
Advantage
:
•
When an infringement occurs, if the referee thinks the
non-offending team might benefit by continuing play
•
How much territory or opportunity is needed before
advantage is gained depends on the nature of the
offense
•
Applies to minor infringements or penalties
•
If no advantage occurs, the referee blows whistle and
brings play back to the place of the infringement
Ruck
:
A
ruck
is formed when two
or more opposing players
arrive at the tackled player
at the same time. The
opposing players push
each other to allow their
teammates to pick-up the
ball and run
