maul, sraz
a situation where rugby players from both teams bind together around a ball carrier who is on their feet
What is a "maul"?
A maul in rugby happens when a player with the ball is held by one or more opponents, but the ball is still in the air. Other players from both teams then join in to form a group around the ball. The goal for the team with the ball is to try to move forward while keeping the ball in their hands. Players must stay on their feet, and the ball can only be passed backward to teammates. If the group stops moving or the ball is no longer in play, the referee might stop the play and call for a scrum.
Example
The team formed a maul to push forward.
He joined the maul to support his teammate.
