Scrum
Scrum a formalised contest for possession of the ball during a rugby match between the two sets of forwards who each assemble in a tight-knit formation with bodies bent and arms clasped around each other and push forwards together against their opponents (dict. Of sp. And ex. Sc. 2006, 185P.) Scrum a formation used to restart play after a knock-on or forward pass, or at any time when ordered by the referee. Forwards on each side bind and the two groups come together, with the front rows interlocking to leave a tunnel between them. The scrumhalf of the non-offending team feeds the ball into the tunnel from 1 meter away, midway between the front rows. The hookers attempt to get the ball out to a back. The scrum ends when the ball is out of the tunnel and in possession of a player on either team (rugby) scrum the formation, in three rows, of the two teams‟ forwards, who then push (or more usually lean) against each other, while the scrum-half puts the ball in between the legs of his loose-head prop. Following rule changes, scrums are now virtually uncontested and never won by the team not putting the ball in (rugby league) (chambers. Sports factf.,2005, 480P.) Scrum the formation, in three rows, of the two teams‟ forwards, who then push against each other, while the scrum-half puts the ball into the gap between the two front rows. The ball is usually hooked back by the side putting the ball in (rugby union) (chambers. Sports factf.,2005, 494P.)
