Rugby Union
In rugby union, the "Up and Under", also known as the "Garryowen", allows the attacking team to disrupt the defensive line, take the defence's pressure off themselves and put offensive pressure on their opponents. However, the kicking team risks losing possession of the ball, after which the opposing team may counter attack. In rugby union, the opposing team may choose to call for a mark if the ball is behind the opposition's 22 metre line line and caught cleanly.
