This occurs when the opposing team is in position of the ball and is moving toward the defending try line from anywhere on the pitch. Defence is setup to stop progression and turn the ball over to allow defense plays to then attack. A defence can also occur when the team having possession of the ball is close to their own try line and will need to move away to reduce the chances of the attacking team gaining possession
