What is a pass?

Mike Schmid (Director of Rugby, Esher RFC) gives expert video advice on: What are the basic objectives of play?; How long does each match last?; How big is the pitch? and more...

A pass up occurs when one player passes a ball from his hands to his supporting player, in a backwards or sideways direction, generally to avoid an oncoming defender, or put somebody else in space, with the slight exception is you're not allowed a forward pass in the game of rugby.
