You may be surprised to learn that rugby has rules. It doesn't really matter if your experience is good or bad, the rules of rugby are important. It can be tough to follow these laws at first. It is possible to use a Rule Book, or the World Rugby legal book, to help guide you.
There are four main positions in rugby: outside centres, forwards, backs, fullbacks and backs. Backs are smaller and more agile players who are fast and can stretch out the ball. Forwards, on the other hand are bigger and more powerful. They protect the ball as well.
For an attacking team to score a try, the ball needs to cross the defending team's end zone. It is considered a foul if a defensive team member makes contact with the ball carrier as the ball is in the air. The attacking team must cease playing.
Next, create a scrum. A scrum is formed when the players on the defense or offensive side of the line get together. Players from both teams must enter the scrum from the back of their own ruck. Alternately, an attacking team can choose not to take possession.
You must remember the most important rule: you cannot tackle a person while they are holding the ball. This is because you have to give the ball to the person in front of your. If you attempt to tackle a player while the ball is in the air, you could injure the player.
After a tackle, the opponent's player must then roll off the ground so that the ball can be received by other players. After this, the player must release the ball. The ball should be released by the player.
You must also remember that you should never pass the ball forward. Instead, you must pass the ball sideways and laterally. You can do this by kicking the ball or by passing it to another player.
Unlike soccer, there are no downs in rugby. Each team can have no more than seven substitutes. These substitutions can come from the same player or from different players. All field players must wear high socks or cleats.
The pitch must have enough space for all players to be able to move around and play without getting in the way. The game is over after an 80-minute period. There is a ten minute break. During this rest period, the referee is able to either call a penalty (or restart) the game.
One of the most important rules in rugby is to avoid tacklers. If you are being tagged, you need to move a little further away from the ball. This will keep you safe from being hurt. Learn how to avoid and sidestep tacklers.
