# Neutral carry

When the ball carrier loses the collision with the tackler, the defender pushes them back, and they fall backwards, starting a ruck.

Also called a Passive Carry.

## How it's identified

* The defender wins the collision: the carrier is driven back and/or falls backward.
* The carrier loses territory at the moment of contact.
