Attacking team has 2 minutes to score as many tries as possible.
2 handed touch* means attacking players passes ball out to pocket player and they continue to attack.
Once a try is scored, the attacking team starts again from the 22m.
If the attacking team makes a mistake (e.g. knock ball, pass forward, go into touch), they have to start from the 22m again.
