A ruck is formed if the ball is on the ground and one or more players from each team who are on their feet close around it. Players must not handle the ball in the ruck, and must use their feet to move the ball or drive over it so that it emerges at the team's hindmost foot, at which point it can be picked up. 2, record 1, English, - ruck

En el caso del ruck, también conocida como melé abierta, se trata de una jugada dinámica provocada por una situación del juego, en la que los jugadores participan sin una estructura definida entrando y saliendo de la jugada según sea necesario para el progreso del juego. La similitud entre las jugadas es intencional, dado que el ruck pretende ser una versión más dinámica del scrum, sin una estructura definida. 2, record 1, Spanish, - ruck
