Touch (rugby)

Touch is the area outside two touch-lines which define the sides of the playing area in a game of Rugby football. As the touch-lines are not part of the playing area they are usually included as part of touch.

When a ball is "kicked into touch", it means that it has been kicked out of playing are into the touch area.
