The Scrum is a way of restarting the game after a penalty or when the ball has gone out of bounds (touch).
The scrum is formed by the forwards binding together in three rows. The scrum then ‘engages’ with the opposition team so that the player’s heads are interlocked with those of the other side’s front row. |
 |
| The “scrum half” then feeds the ball into the tunnel created in the space between the two sets of front rowers’ legs. Both teams try to “hook” the ball backwards with their feet |
 |
 |
The Scrum Half collects the ball out of the back of the scrum and starts the attack by passing the ball to the back line. To mix things up, the 8-man will sometimes take the ball and attack as well. |
