Field Layout Playable area is typically
100 meters long, with lines at least marking 22, 10, and 50 meters
These lines define where kickoff and penalties occur
Fields can vary in size, ‘not more than or less than’ certain amounts› Typical regulation size is
100 meters long and 70 wide, with a try zone (touch down zone) 22 meters with all the displayed lines marked
What do the lines mean?
At kickoff, the ball must begin at the 50m and go at least to the 10m line› If not, the receiving team can choose to play
the ball or request a re-kick or scrum The 5 and 15 meter lines running
perpendicular to the field represents where a line out forms when the ball goes out of play
The parallel 5 and 22m markings display where penalties occur (kicking and scrums)
Lineout
Occurs when the ball goes out of touch (out of bounds)
The ball is awarded to the opposite team of the infraction
Both teams line up on the 5 meter line to jump for the ball, similar to a jump ball in basketball, but one player is lifted by two teammates to attempt to grab the thrown in ball.
Scrum
Restarts play after a minor penalty
Includes knock-ons, held up balls in the try zone, and kick-offs going short of 10 meters
8 players on each team bind together to compete for possession of the ball
Offense The ball must not be passed
forward› It can be passed backwards or
laterally The ball can be kicked forward
› A chip kick is an offensive kick where a player moves the ball forward for a teammate to catch while on the run
To score, a player must touch down the ball in the try zone (5 points)› A try is not scored if the ball is
dropped down or held up by an opposing player
After a try has been scored, any player may kick for conversion points (3 points)
