SCRUM

Scrum

A scrum is a method of restarting play in rugby football. Depending on whether it is in rugby union or rugby league, the scrum is utilised either after an accidental infringement or when the ball has gone out of play. Scrums occur more often, and are of greater importance, in union than in league.
