One of the most effective ways to cross over the try-line is the use of an efficient rolling maul. From club rugby to professional rugby, all the way to the international level, you'll see teams put opponents to the sword with a powerful maul.
But, what are the rules surrounding this move, and how can a team make the most of a maul in a given situation? Here's a quick breakdown on what a maul looks like, what the laws are, what you can and cannot do, and the type of situations when a maul is most applicable:. A maul occurs when a player with the ball goes into contact with a defender, and while both players remain on their feet, at least one more player from the attacking team joins the contact. At this point a maul is formed, and looks sort of like a scrum except with the ball in the player's hands instead of on the ground.
The much more common way to use a maul, however, is from a lineout. Particularly when teams are down near the goal line, they'll look to employ a rolling maul to try and get over the line and dot the ball down. All of that makes sense but the part to be considered is "taken down by Red. But should it. The law seems to include both teams in forbidding them to collapse a maul.
If the reason that it is yet another tedious stoppage to the even flow of the game, then, too, it does not matter who causes the stoppage. There is a stoppage, regardless of who did it, and that leads to a scrum. It would seem that the team that collapses a maul is liable to be penalised regardless of whether it is the ball-carrying team or not.
