It doesn't really matter if you want to play or simply enjoy watching rugby. You need to know the basic rules. Rugby is a great sport. It is high-energy, exciting, and full with strategy. Competiton helps to develop skills and fitness as well as team culture.
There are two kinds of rugby, touch and contact. Touch rugby has a heavier center. Touchballs cannot be kicked forward or backward. The ball is considered to be a tackle if it touches a player.
To be successful at tackling, a player must push another player to the ground, allowing the other player to let go of the ball. The tackler must then move away from the player, allowing the ruck to form. Once the ruck is formed, a player can enter from the back of the ruck. This player must not use their hands until the ball is in the back of the ruck.
Touch rugby is a form of rugby that has minimal contact. The goal of this game is to score as many points as possible. Players aim to play defense and offense to keep other players out of the try line and win the game. The defense must pass the ball back to the attacking team if the ball is lost beyond their reach.
Rugby is a fast-paced, team-based sport. While both teams may play upto fifteen players, most games are played with 10 or more players. The pitch is 22 meters wide and the players of each team are distributed over it. At each end of this field are the goal posts. Every player uses different skill sets depending on his position to get the ball.
The attacking team attempts to score the ball. If the player has possession, he/she can kick or run for the ball. A scrum is an alternative. A defense member will be present to hold the attacking player up during the scrum. He cannot pass the ball until the scrum is over. After the scrum, play can be resumed by the offensive team.
Normaly, players can't tackle one another. However when a player is accidentally dropped forward the offending player will receive a warning card. Red cards are used to disqualify an offending player from any future match. A typical rule is that 14 players must sit out at least a portion.
There are many rules regarding offense and defense. If a player is in front, they are offside. Rugby players have no protection equipment, which is a major difference to other sports.
If a player is issued a yellow ticket, he or she must be absent for ten mins. A penalty try may also be given to the offender. It is sometimes disputed whether a penalty try should be given. If the referee awards a penalty try, the opposing team is awarded a place kick, which is kicked from the ground to the posts. Place kicks, which cross the crossbar and are worth three points, are worth three.
