After every two minutes the play is to stop at the next touch made, penalty, dropped ball or break in play.
One player from each team is to then leave the field. Upon these players leaving the field play is to resume from the point it was stopped. This same process continues every two minutes. The minimum number of players on the field shall be three per side.
Substitutions may occur as per normal during this drop off period.
The winning team is the first try scorer.
Exception. If at the beginning of the drop off rule the team who has first possession scores during their first set of touches, they must give the opposing team an opportunity to score in their first set of touches. If the opposing team scores in this set of touches, the game continues. However, as soon as the opposing team lose possession of the ball the try scoring team is awarded the match. |
