Rules

The Super 16 has no knockout system, meaning, you play the entire games even for the 16th place. Schools of equal strength are put together in 4 groups of 4 teams each. You then play 3 matches to determine the 4 positions in order of strength. The top 2 teams in each group compete for the 1st 8 places while the bottom 2 teams compete for position 9 to 16

In the quarter finals the winners of group1 then play against the second team in group3, while position 3 and 4 does the same in groups 1 and 3. Groups 2 and 4 goes through the same exercise to determine a top 4 group (winners) and a bottom 4 group (losers). The top 4 now are divided into two groups of 2 while the bottom 4 does the same to compete in the semi finals. Each group of 2 will have only 1 winner to play in the finals for the 1st 2 positions while the losers play for the next 2 positions.

New Rugby Rules

Backlines must be five metres back from the scrum.

On lineouts, quick throw-ins can now go backwards, towards the own goal line.

For all offences other than offside and foul play, the sanction is a free kick rather than a penalty.

If a player passes or carries the ball from outside to inside his own 22m line and he or a teammate kicks it into touch, the lineout will be from where the ball is kicked out.
