The speed of which the ball comes back from the ruck limits what moves you can play..
For example teams playing champagne or fifteen man rugby will aim to move the ball quickly to expose a unprepared defense and so want quick ball, the flip side to this is teams playing ten man rugby want slow ball so they have time to sort themselves and slow play down to catch their breath.
Scrum A scrum is a set piece formed when a knock on or forward pass occurs..
The teams forwards join in a bound specific formation and bind with the opposition. The ball is then rolled down the middle of the scrum by the scrum half. The hooker then hooks the ball back towards his team with his feet whilst his team attempt to push the opposition back bringing the ball to the back between the players feet.
