    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation

  • 3. 

    When an attacking player is first to ground the ball in the opponents’ in-goal, a try is scored.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When an attacking player is the first to ground the ball in the opponents' in-goal area, a try is scored. This means that if the attacking player successfully touches the ball down behind the opponents' goal line, it counts as a try. This is a fundamental rule in rugby, where the objective is to score points by grounding the ball in the opponents' in-goal area. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Choose the correct statements.

    • The distance between the two goal posts is 6.6 metres.

    • The distance between the two goal posts is 5.6 metres.

    • The distance between the two goal posts is 7.6 metres.

    • The distance between the two goal posts is 4.6 metres.

    Correct Answer
    A. The distance between the two goal posts is 5.6 metres.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The distance between the two goal posts is 5.6 metres." This statement provides a specific measurement for the distance between the two goal posts.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If time expires after a try has been scored the referee will allow time for the conversion kick to be taken.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If time expires after a try has been scored, the referee will allow time for the conversion kick to be taken. This means that even if the game clock runs out, the referee will still give the team that scored the try an opportunity to kick for an extra two points. This is to ensure fairness and allow the team to potentially increase their lead before the game ends.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If a player would probably have scored a try but for foul play by an opponent, a penalty try is awarded between the goal posts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a player would probably have scored a try but for foul play by an opponent, a penalty try is awarded between the goal posts. This means that if a player is prevented from scoring a try due to a foul committed by an opponent, the team that was fouled against is awarded a penalty try. The penalty try is awarded by placing the ball between the goal posts, which automatically gives the team seven points, without the need for a conversion kick. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A player may wear headgears which bear the IRB Approval Mark.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the IRB (International Rugby Board) Approval Mark indicates that the headgear has met the safety standards set by the governing body for rugby. This mark ensures that the headgear provides adequate protection for the player's head during the game, reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, it is important for players to wear headgears with the IRB Approval Mark to ensure their safety on the field.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A player may wear ankle supports worn under socks, not extending higher than one third of the length of the shin and, if rigid, from material other than metal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because according to the given information, a player is allowed to wear ankle supports under their socks. These ankle supports should not extend higher than one third of the length of the shin. Additionally, if the ankle supports are rigid, they must be made of a material other than metal.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    In international matches, play always lasts eighty minutes plus lost time.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in international matches, the standard duration of play is eighty minutes. This does not include any additional time that may be added due to stoppages or delays during the game. Therefore, the play always lasts for at least eighty minutes, ensuring a fair and consistent duration for international matches.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Advantage must not be applied when the scrum is wheeled through more than 90 degrees (so that the middle line has passed beyond a position parallel to the touchline).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When the scrum is wheeled through more than 90 degrees, it means that the middle line of the scrum has moved beyond a position parallel to the touchline. In such a situation, applying the advantage is not allowed. This means that if the team with the ball gains an advantage from the wheeling of the scrum, the play will be stopped and a scrum will be reset. Therefore, the statement "Advantage must not be applied when the scrum is wheeled through more than 90 degrees" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Choose the correct statements. 

    • Dimensions. The field of play does not exceed 100 metres in length. Each in-goal does not exceed 22 metres in length. The playing area does not exceed 70 metres in width.

    • Dimensions. The field of play does not exceed 150 metres in length. Each in-goal does not exceed 18 metres in length. The playing area does not exceed 60 metres in width.

    • Dimensions. The field of play does not exceed 120 metres in length. Each in-goal does not exceed 25 metres in length. The playing area does not exceed 70 metres in width.

    • Dimensions. The field of play does not exceed 105 metres in length. Each in-goal does not exceed 22 metres in length. The playing area does not exceed 90 metres in width.

    Correct Answer
    A. Dimensions. The field of play does not exceed 100 metres in length. Each in-goal does not exceed 22 metres in length. The playing area does not exceed 70 metres in width.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the first statement: "Dimensions. The field of play does not exceed 100 metres in length. Each in-goal does not exceed 22 metres in length. The playing area does not exceed 70 metres in width." This statement accurately describes the dimensions of the field of play, in-goal areas, and playing area in a concise and clear manner. It specifies the maximum length of the field, the maximum length of each in-goal area, and the maximum width of the playing area.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Choose the correct statements.

    • The distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 20 metres.

    • The distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 15 metres.

    • The distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 8 metres.

    • The distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 10 metres.

    Correct Answer
    A. The distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 10 metres.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the distance from the goal line to the dead ball line will preferably be not less than 10 metres. This means that the distance between these two lines should be at least 10 meters. This is important in sports like rugby or soccer as it allows enough space for players to maneuver and for the ball to be played without obstruction. A shorter distance could lead to congestion and limit the ability of players to effectively play the game.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Advantage can only be territorial not tactical.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because advantage can be both territorial and tactical. Territorial advantage refers to gaining control over a specific area or territory, while tactical advantage refers to gaining an advantage in a specific battle or engagement. Both types of advantage are important in various situations and can contribute to overall success in military operations.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    All the kicker’s team, except the placer, must be in front of the ball when it is kicked.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because all the kicker's team, including the placer, must be behind the ball when it is kicked.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The referee has no power to end the match at any time, if the referee believes that play should not continue because it would be dangerous.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the referee does have the power to end the match at any time if they believe that play should not continue due to safety concerns. The referee's primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of the players, and they have the authority to stop the match if they deem it necessary to protect the participants from potential harm.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Advantage cannot be applied when the ball, or a player carrying it, touches the referee.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When the ball, or a player carrying it, touches the referee, the advantage cannot be applied. This means that if a team is in a favorable position or has an opportunity to score, but the ball hits the referee, the game will be stopped and the play will be restarted with a drop ball or another appropriate method. The reason for this is to ensure fairness and prevent any potential bias or interference from the referee's presence on the field.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Advantage can be applied when the ball comes out of either end of the tunnel at a scrum without having been played.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the advantage rule can only be applied when the ball is in play and a team is at a disadvantage due to a foul or infringement by the opposing team. In the given scenario, the ball has not been played, so there is no opportunity for advantage to be applied.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A placer is a team-mate who holds the ball for the kicker to kick.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A placer is indeed a teammate who holds the ball for the kicker to kick. This is commonly seen in sports such as American football or rugby, where the kicker needs a stable and stationary ball to make an accurate kick. The placer's role is to ensure that the ball is positioned correctly and held securely, allowing the kicker to focus on their technique and power.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    A match lasts no longer than 90 minutes plus time lost extra time and any special conditions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement says that a match lasts no longer than 90 minutes plus time lost in extra time and any special conditions. However, this is not true. In some cases, matches can go into extra time and penalty shootouts, which can extend the duration of the game beyond 90 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Choose the correct statements.

    • When padding is attached to the goal posts the distance from the goal line to the external edge of the padding must not exceed 200mm.

    • When padding is attached to the goal posts the distance from the goal line to the external edge of the padding must not exceed 300mm.

    • When padding is attached to the goal posts the distance from the goal line to the external edge of the padding must not exceed 400mm.

    • When padding is attached to the goal posts the distance from the goal line to the external edge of the padding must not exceed 250mm.

    Correct Answer
    A. When padding is attached to the goal posts the distance from the goal line to the external edge of the padding must not exceed 300mm.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "When padding is attached to the goal posts the distance from the goal line to the external edge of the padding must not exceed 300mm." This statement is correct because it specifies the maximum distance allowed between the goal line and the external edge of the padding when it is attached to the goal posts. Any distance greater than 300mm would be considered a violation of the rule.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Choose the incorrect statements.

    • When a player leaves the field to have bleeding controlled and/or have an open wound covered, that player may be temporarily replaced. If the player who has been temporarily replaced does not return to the field of play within 15 minutes (actual time) of leaving the playing area, the replacement becomes permanent and the replaced player must not return to the field of play.

    • If the temporary replacement is injured, that player cannot be replaced.

    • If the temporary replacement is sent off for foul play, the replaced player may not return to the field of play.

    • . If the temporary replacement is cautioned and temporarily suspended, the replaced player may not return to the field of play until after the period of suspension.

    Correct Answer
    A. If the temporary replacement is injured, that player cannot be replaced.
    Explanation
    If the temporary replacement is injured, that player cannot be replaced. This statement is incorrect because if the temporary replacement gets injured, they can be replaced by another player.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    A player may wear supports made of  non-elasticated or non-compressible materials which must be washable

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because a player may wear supports made of non-elasticated or non-compressible materials, but they do not necessarily have to be washable.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Tactical advantage means freedom for the offending team to play the ball as they wish.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is incorrect. Tactical advantage does not mean freedom for the offending team to play the ball as they wish. In fact, tactical advantage refers to the strategic advantage gained by a team through their tactics, positioning, and decision-making on the field. It is about utilizing their skills and strategies effectively to gain an upper hand over the opposing team.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Injury. The referee may stop play for not more than two minute so that an injured player can be treated, or for any other permitted delay.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the referee can stop play for more than two minutes if necessary for an injured player to be treated or for any other permitted delay.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    If after the ball is kicked, it touches the ground or any team-mate of the kicker, a goal cannot be scored.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If the ball touches the ground or any teammate of the kicker after it is kicked, a goal cannot be scored. This is because according to the rules of the game, the ball must go directly into the opponent's goal without any interference or contact with the ground or teammates. If the ball touches the ground or a teammate, it indicates that there has been an interruption or interference in the play, and therefore a goal cannot be awarded.
