Quick-throw
01
a fast throw-in taken by a rugby player from the sideline to restart play quickly
What is a "quick-throw"?
A quick-throw in rugby happens when the ball is thrown back into play from the sideline. Instead of waiting for a lineout, the player quickly throws the ball to a teammate to catch, without giving the opposing team a chance to set up. This method helps keep the game fast-paced by catching the other team off guard. The throw must be done over the head with both hands, and the player must remain behind the line where the ball went out of bounds.
Example
The team opted for a quick-throw instead of a lineout.
He launched the ball with a quick-throw into the field of play.
The referee signaled for a quick-throw to be taken.
