There are some rules to rugby. 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 basic roles in rugby: backs/fullbacks, forwards, backs and outside centres. Backs, who are smaller and more agile than forwards and can spread the ball out faster, are quicker and more agile. Forwards, however, are larger and more robust. They also protect your ball.
A try is scored by an attacking side if the ball crosses the goal line of the opposing team. A foul is when a defensive player contacts the ball carrier in the air. The attacking team must now stop playing.
The next step is to make 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. A team that is attacking can also choose to kick it in to regain possession.
You cannot tackle a player if he or she has the ball. The reason is that the ball must be accessible to the player in front. If you attempt to tackle a player while the ball is in the air, you could injure the player.
After a tackle, the player on the ground must roll out of the way for other players to receive the ball. When this is done, he or she must then release the ball. The ball should be released by the player.
A second important rule is that you cannot pass the ball forward. Instead, you must pass the ball sideways and laterally. This can be done by either kicking the ball or passing it to another player.
Rugby is not like soccer in that there are no downs. Each team can have no more than seven substitutes. These substitutes can come either from the same or different player. All players on the field must wear high socks and cleats.
The pitch should be sufficiently long and wide to allow players to play and run without bumping into each other. The game is over after an 80-minute period. There is a ten minute break. During this 10 minute break, the referee could call a penality or restart the match.
Avoiding tacklers is one the most important rules in rugby. If you are being tackled, you should take a few steps back from the ball. This will keep you safe from being hurt. Also, you must learn how to dodge and sidestep tacklers.
