Approved Rules

If all the spaces on you side of the ruck are occupied and your scrum half is unable to get to the ruck to gather, you can choose to use the "Hand in" foul play.

One of your players involved in the ruck uses his hands to get the ball back to his team mates. To use 'Hands in' do the following...

1) During your turn nominate one of you players involved in the ruck to perform the foul.

2) Make a referee roll...

If successful then any of your team mates may gather the ball from the fringe of the ruck. (Like the scrummie no.9)

If unsuccessful the referee awards a penalty to you opponents on the spot where the ball is. Your turn ends immediatly.

Note: Unlike Scrumhalfs, a player Gathering from a 'Hand in the ruck' will not get an automatic pass.
