  • If the try scorer drops the pass then no try is awarded and the opposition start with a free pass from the try line
  • Rotate the try scorer after each try
  • If ball is dropped or out of play then the opposition restart the game with a free pass from where the incident occurred. Area up to 30m x 60m, dependent on numbers and capabilities.
