7 Basic Rules

1. There are six players for each team on the field at a time. Though there can be up to 14 players on the team, with unlimited substitutions.
2. You can only pass backwards.
3. If you get touched with the ball, you have to put the ball on the ground and step over it.
4. The person who collects the ball, known as the ‘dummy half’, should try to offload quickly because they’re not allowed to get touched or score. If they do, it’s a ‘changeover’ (the ball goes to the other team).
5. The team that makes the touch has to get back seven metres before they can make another touch.
6. After six touches to a team, there’s a changeover.
7. The ball can’t touch the ground. If it does, it’s a changeover.
