Confused about the rule of over a third
If one player of example the green team passes the ball over a third ,does the player of the other team take the ball to where the player of the other team stood while making a 'over the third' or to where he threw it.

Hi Felicia,
The opposition would take the ball from where it crossed the line. For example, if it was a backline pass and it was over a third, the opposition would take the ball just inside the centre third. So in your example, where the player of the other team stood, not where it was thrown from.
Hope this helps.
