A ruck is where a player has been tackled and has been gone to ground after both opposition and their own players have joined and created a ruck. The hands must NOT be used in a ruck after it has been formed.

A maul is often formed after a line-out or kick off has happened and the tackled player has been held up on their feet, and both opposition and their own players have joined it as it is. A maul may be pushed by the ball possessors to gain some ground or by the defense team to protect the goal line. It is the role of the defenisve team (those not in ball ownership) to attempt to pull then ball from the holding player this is known as "ripping the ball". A maul may progress from where the ball is held by a player in the centre of the "maul" to the ball being passed backward to the last person in that maul. The maul may contine to move forward toward the defending teams goal line. This is a "rolling maul". England are one of the few who have perfected this really well and use it to great effect to protect a ball carrier and gain ground.
