Hi Paula,
This largely depends on the situation. Please see below the scenarios and outcomes:
-
Throw in to the team not in possession when the maul began
-
When unclear which team was in possession when the maul began, the team moving forward before the maul stopped
-
When unclear which team was in possession when the maul began, and neither team was moving forward, the attacking team throws the ball in
-
When the maul was formed directly from a kick in general play, the ball catcher`s team throws in
Hope this helps.
