Foul Play - what the other side do. If your side do it, it's called ‘using your initiative'.
Ruck - informal, impromptu get-together for forwards and a few close friends.
Mark - if you can cleanly catch a ball kicked several hundred feet in the air within your own 22 metre line and call ‘mark' while the entire other side is pounding towards you intent on doing you damage, you can have a free kick. You deserve it.
Offside - a natural break in the play called by the referee every 35 seconds to let everyone get their breath back.
Advantage: The situation when a referee decides to allow play to continue and not blow for an obvious transgression immediately, due to a mistaken impression that it somehow benefits a team.
Free kick: The punishment for lying on the wrong side of a ruck of maul.
Grubber: Mistimed drop kick from anywhere on the field.
Prop: Front row position that has finally solves the mystery of who did actually eat all of the pies.(John Cunliffe)
Harlequin: n. Stock comic character. especially in checked costume. Need I say more?
