Phase play

  • A team has seven phases to score. If  the team doesn’t score by the time of the 7th Tag/Touch, the opposition will be given the ball.
  • If any penalty is awarded to the ball carrying team, then that would restart that series of tackles.
  • After the 6th ‘tackle’, the Referee should call “last play” or similar so the teams know. They might call “last touch” instead of “6” at the appropriate time.
