What you’ll learn
I can restart play with a lineout and a scrum.
Key learning points
- Move: standing in a straight line and timing your jump helps to catch the ball cleanly during a line-out.
- Move: binding onto the outside shoulder without interlocking heads maintains the legal scrum positioning.
- Think: scrums and lineouts are uncontested therefore the team throwing the ball in should maintain possession.
- Feel: working closely in structured restarts builds a sense of trust and teamwork within your group.
- Connect: clear, confident communication helps coordinate movement in the lineout and timing in the scrum.
Words to know
- line out
- how play is restarted when the ball goes into touch
- scrum
- how play is restarted after a stoppage caused by a minor infringement (forward pass or knock-on)
- uncontested
- both teams take part in the restart but they do not compete for the ball through physical contact
Common mistakes
Pupils think a scrum and line out in T1 rugby are contested and they push to get the ball.
T1 rugby is a non contact game therefore the scrum and lineouts are both uncontested. They are used to draw players into an area to create space on the pitch following a restart.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Even though scrums and lineouts are uncontested as a rule in T1 rugby, there is local flexibility within the rules. For example, if both teams agree then lineouts can include a 1v1 contest, as long as there is no lifting and jumps land where they take off.
