          An action performed by an out-of-possession player to engage or challenge the player in possession or disrupt their distribution action.

          Such an action can be intended to win the ball back or simply to prevent the opposition’s possession from progressing. Examples include blocking an attempt at goal, intercepting a cross or pass, relieving pressure through a clearance or challenging for the ball with a tackle.
