(a) If the throw-in at a lineout is incorrect, the opposing team has the choice of throwing in at a lineout or a scrum on the 15-metre line. If they choose the throw-in to the lineout and it is again incorrect, a scrum is formed. The team that took the first throw-in throws in the ball.

(b) The throw-in at the lineout must be taken without delay and without pretending to throw.
Penalty: Free Kick on the 15-metre line

(c) A player must not intentionally or repeatedly throw the ball in not straight.
