If a player infringes on the rules of rugby, he may receive a penalty. The infringement may be a minor one or a serious one. Referees can decide to award a penalty or a kick to touch for the team. After an infraction has been committed, the referee will determine the penalty and the team may be given a kick touch, scrum or place kick to restart the game.
There are two types of penalties that can be applied: a free kick or a place kick. Free kicks are awarded for minor infringements, such as not releasing the ball. When a player commits an infringement, the referee raises an arm in the air. This is known as a Yellow Card. Another option is to give a player a Red Card. This is a permanent exclusion.
Teams may receive penalty kicks for more serious violations. If foul play is prevented from a team scoring a try, the referee can also award a penalty try. A penalty try is worth three points. To make matters worse, kicks that cross the line are subject to a full punishment. This kick is usually taken off to the ground using a plastic tip.
A player may be given a penalty if he is in the wrong position. If a player is positioned in front of the ball, for example, he could be penalised. If a player is caught in the way of an unintentional throw ahead, he may also be penalized. A player can't be penalized if he is in front of the ball and in a goal.
You can kick the ball from the side of the attacking team but not from the side of the defending team. This is similar to a self pass. A player may kick in the middle, the left or correct half of either the defending or attacking teams. A player may also kick from inside the kicking team's half.
If the defending player fails to move back to his spot after a tackle, he may be penalized. This can happen if the player attempts to pass the ball back to the attacking player, or if the defending player deliberately slaps the ball forward. For defending a player trying to cross the line, a player could be penalized. South African players can kick further from the kicking line than they do in other countries. This is so that players have more chances of catching the ball.
A penalty try may be awarded if a player deliberately obstructs the path of another player. If the defending player doesn't roll away, a player can be penalised. The ball could get stuck in the ruck if the opponent isn't rolling away.
