For those that are interested here are the rules of the game:

  • The game is split into four 5 minute (or longer by agreement) quarters, 2 minute breaks for rehydration
  • Up to 7 players a side, with subs
  • Players must not run or jog while the game is in action
  • Ball must be passed backwards or transverse (not forward)
  • A try is scored by carrying the ball over the try line (indoors by touching the ball to the wall)
  • Knock-on if the ball is knocked forward and hits another player or the ground, deliberate knock on is a penalty
  • Tackle = two-handed touch to the ball carrier (shoulders down to shorts), call “tackle”
  • Touch or turnover sets the off-side line at that spot and defenders must retreat behind it
  • Tackled player must pass the ball, from the spot they were touched, without delay
  • Ball in touch the other side re-start with a pass from the point where the ball crossed the line
  • Penalty, or other re-start must be at least 3m from the try line and sets the off-side line 3m back
  • Turnover, penalty or other in-field re-start: the player re-starting must tap the ball with foot or knee and may then walk or pass, on-side defenders may advance
  • Advantage may be played following any infringement
