Rugby Rules 101: What Is a Maul?
The maul is one of the most effective set moves in rugby. What is it and how is it so effective?
May 19, 2020 by Alex Rees
(...)
A maul occurs when a player with the ball goes into contact with a defender, and while both players remain on their feet, at least one more player from the attacking team joins the contact. At this point a maul is formed, and looks sort of like a scrum except with the ball in the player’s hands instead of on the ground.
