Rugby's most important aspect is the maul. Mauls are used by teams to expand open areas and gain territory. To take advantage of mauls, players need to be able execute them correctly. A maul can be used to draw defenders into a scrum, or it can be a strategic move designed to prevent a team from advancing towards the goal line.
The ball carrier must be held by at most two teammates when performing a maul. Ideally, the defending team should hold the carrier's shoulders and torso while the team in possession of the ball drives the opposing team back to their goal line. The ball should then move backwards from one side to the other. This allows the player in possession of the ball, to drive the other side away and gain territory.
A maul requires a number of steps. These must all be done correctly to ensure success. You must start the maul on the playing field and keep moving towards the goal. This tactic can also be used to create open space. One strategy is to attack individual jumpers. If the maul crosses above the try line, the back player can score a goal.
When performing a maul it is crucial that all players on either side are standing. You must also keep the ball in its place. This is why it is better to keep it under one arm.
The attacking team should attempt to stop the maul from becoming complete. To do this they should either trap the ball carrier or run from the side. Doing this can be considered an infraction, and may result in a fine. If the ball carrier has a valid reason to be held, he may be dragged from the maul.
During a maul, players can get held for up to five seconds. Referees should be consulted in the event of a maul to ensure that the ball carrier is standing upright. If the referee believes that the maul has fallen, he will award the ball to his defending team. Or, the referee might decide to give it to the maul's opponent team. This would be a valid violation.
The ball carrier can become a ruck if it is caught during a maul. This is a common offense and can result in the ball carrier being exposed.
Mauls are an important part in the game. Teams need to learn how to avoid creating them. You can prevent a maul by driving through its center. This can help reduce the momentum for some players. Players shouldn't also jump on top of the maul. They should instead join the maul in pairs so that the maul stays stationary.
