You have the ball. Five lanes of green, a wall of defenders reading your hips, five tackles to survive — and the try line roaring at the far end.

How to play
- Pick a club and you are playing. Tap a club card and the match kicks off right away. Beat a club to unlock the next. First to 3 tries wins, or the higher score when the 10:00 match clock (it runs fast: 4 game-seconds per real second) reaches zero.
- Run: your carrier sprints up the pitch on his own. Steer him across the five lanes with the ◀ ▶ buttons, arrow keys, or by tapping the left/right side of the pitch. There is always a lane through — the defence is never allowed to wall off the whole pitch.
- SWERVE (big button, or Space): a last-beat sidestep across up to two lanes. For 0.35 s a tackler who reaches you lunges and misses — then he is on the grass and gone. It is not a shield: anyone else can still hit you the moment the beat ends. Cooldown 1.6 s.
- PASS (or F): when a teammate runs up beside you the PASS button lights. The ball moves to him and he carries on — the defence needs 0.35 s to re-read the play. But pass late and you pay: if the nearest defender is within 90 px of your mate when the ball leaves your hands, it is a 70% interception; 90–150 px is a 35% gamble; beyond 150 px the pass is safe. (The Wolves stretch those danger zones by 30 px.) An interception is a turnover.
- Tackles & downs: a set is 5 tackles. Get tackled and the hit drives you back 4 m while the defence retreats its 10 — metres are earned, then defended — and the down counter climbs. Fifth tackle without a try = turnover: the other club runs its set, out in the open — every club's try odds are printed on its card, no secret catch-up maths, ever.
- TRY = 5 pts. Then the conversion (+2): the kick is taken in line with where you scored, so a try out wide is a harder kick. Tap once to stop the swinging aim arrow inside the posts, tap again to stop the power bar at or above the gold line — enough boot to reach, and straight. Short or wide, no points.
