The following World Rugby Global Law Trials apply to competitions beginning on or after
1st August 2021.
50:22 Trial
If the team in possession kicks the ball from inside their own half indirectly into touch inside their opponents’ 22, they will throw into the resultant lineout. The ball cannot be passed or carried back into the defensive half for the 50:22 to be played. The phase must originate inside the defensive half.
Primary intention
To encourage the defensive team to put more players in the backfield, thereby creating more attacking space and reducing defensive line speed.
GLOBAL LAW TRIAL – Law 18.8.a. Where the game is restarted with a lineout and which team throws in is determined as follows: 18.8.a. General
Event
Location of the Mark of Touch
Who Throws in
A player, in their own half, kicks the ball indirectly into touch in the opposition’s 22. Either the team did not take the ball into their half, or a tackle, ruck or maul took place within the half, or an opponent touched the ball within the half. This variation does not apply at a kick-off or any type of restart kick.
Where the ball reaches the touchline.
The kicking team.
The ball-carrier goes into touch or kicks the ball indirectly into touch (other than kicking from inside their own half into touch in the opposition’s 22).

The opposition.
18.8.b. Ball is kicked directly into touch from a kick-off or restart kick
The ball goes directly into touch from a drop-out.
If the touch option is taken, then the throw is where the ball reaches the touchline or on the drop-out’s sanction line, whichever is nearer to the kicker’s goal line.
