Changes to rules:

Play-the-Ball:

o The ball carrier must return to the spot where the tag occurred.

o

Facing the way they are playing, the player places the ball on the ground and rolls the ball back with their foot to a team mate.

o

The team mate who gathers the ball from this position (called the Dummy half) must pass the ball from the Play-the-Ball and should not run forwards. They are able to take steps laterally to assist with passing. You cannot score from a Dummy Half. N.B Any player can be the Dummy Half and the player at Dummy Half could change at every Play-the-Ball.

6) Defence must maintain a distance of 5 metres until the Dummy Half touches the ball and must retreat 5 metres after each tag.

7) The team in posession has the ball for a total of six tags regardless of errors.

8) If a try has not been scored after 6 tags, possession turns over to the defending team at the point of the last tag.
