Q: What does the captain decide at the toss?

Under World Rugby Law 6.3 (Laws of the Game 2026): The referee organises the toss. One captain tosses a coin and the other captain calls. The winner of the toss decides whether to kick off or choose an end. If the winner chooses an end, the opponents must kick off, and vice versa. Before the match, the match officials also inspect players' clothing and studs, and check the availability and status of each team's front-row players. Have your front-row replacements confirmed and ready.
