3. Multiple Player Involvement
There are a number of actions (PASS, SCRUM, LINE OUT, RUCK) where more than one player from a team is involved and they all contribute to the EGP test. In these circumstances, I’d suggest each player takes the test and then the outcome is the lowest achieved by any player involved.
Eg - Pass involves the HND of the thrower and the receiver. If either of them roll a Poor outcome then the Pass overall is poor.
Eg - The Line Out involves the STR of the two Props and the JMP of the Hooker. If any of them fail to do their job (i.e. roll Poor) then the unit itself will not function and the overall outcome is Poor.
