All players must reach the maximum 5 meters

Touch rugby players must make the full 5 meters when they receive the ball from an attacker.

If an attacker is within five meters of the mark of touch, they can't resist or hold onto the ball.

To win the try, the attacking side must place the ball on the five-meter line. If they do not, their opponent has the option to roll or restart the ball on its own.

When a team tries to make a quick start, an off-side defender can touch the attacking player and make a successful tackle. The penalty tap is given for the first down.
