SCORING
BONUS BOX – whereby an additional point is awarded when ball is placed on or within the bonus box lines. A player may enter the bonus box from any direction.
One point is awarded for a try. In mixed games a female try is two points. (This is not a discriminatory or equality issue. It simply enhances the game)
The ball carrier cannot pass the ball back after crossing the opposition try line. If they do a tag will be counted 10 metres out in line with the origin of the pass. If it’s the 6th tag, a c/o 10 metres out from the origin of the pass.
KICKING
Kick on any tag
50/10 – If a player kicks the ball from within their own half and the ball bounces in the field of play then goes into touch within 10 metres of the try line, the attacking team will receive a tap kick 10 metres in from the touch line and 10m out from the try line. This action is called a 50/10. Note: a 50/10 can be made from a kick off or drop out.
