A tap penalty in rugby is a way of restarting play after a team has been awarded a penalty for a rule violation by the opposing team. Instead of kicking the ball, the player taps the ball on the ground with their foot and then quickly passes or runs with it. The tap penalty is usually taken from the spot where the foul occurred and allows the team to resume play quickly, often in an attempt to catch the opposing team off guard. It is a common method used to gain ground or set up an attacking move.
