About this quiz

What this rugby laws quiz covers

Rucks, mauls, and scrums are where most infringements happen, so this quiz focuses on the laws that decide who keeps the ball and why penalties are awarded. Expect situations involving entry angles, binding, offside lines, and what “use it” really means.

Every question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can slow down and reason through the law rather than guess under pressure. You can also choose the question count and difficulty before you start, making it easy to run a quick refresher or a full mixed challenge.

Skills you’ll practice (and what trips players up)

You’ll practice spotting legal vs illegal ruck entry, identifying when a maul is formed and when it ends, and understanding scrum responsibilities for front-row and back-row players. Common pitfalls include confusing a tackle with a ruck, missing where the offside line forms, and assuming “hands in” is always illegal.

  • Recognizing when a ruck/maul is formed and what that changes
  • Applying offside lines at rucks, mauls, and scrums
  • Knowing legal entry, binding, and body height requirements
  • Understanding “use it,” ball availability, and turnover outcomes
  • Distinguishing collapse vs accidental ground contact in mauls/scrums

Difficulty and how it’s balanced

Difficulty is mixed: some questions check core definitions and signals, while others add small details (player position, timing, or angle) that change the correct call. The variety helps you build confidence on fundamentals while still preparing you for tricky, real-match edge cases.
