Q
How may players pass and what is the sanction for incorrect passing?
A
- Passing:
The ball may only be passed sideways or backwards. If the ball is handed to another player who is in front of the ball carrier, or passed or knocked forwards towards the opponents’ dead ball line, a scrum is awarded to the non-offending team. Referees should play advantage wherever it is safe to do so.
