It may surprise you to find out that there are rules for rugby. It doesn't really matter if your experience is good or bad, the rules of rugby are important. These rules can be hard to follow at first. However, you can use a rule book, or the World Rugby law book, to guide you.
There are four basic roles in rugby: backs/fullbacks, forwards, backs and outside centres. Backs can be smaller and more agile, and they are also faster and better at stretching the ball. Forwards are bigger and stronger. They protect the ball as well.
To score a try by an attacking team, the ball must cross the line of the defending team. If a defensive player makes contact with the ball carrier when the ball is in the air, this is considered a foul. The attacking team must now stop playing.

Next is to form a scrum. The scrum is when players on either the defensive or offensive sides of the line join forces. Both teams' players must start the scrum by stepping back from their 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. This is because the ball must be in the hands of the player in front. The ball can be in the air so you don't have to try and tackle the player.
After a tackle, he or she must roll to the side so other players can get the ball. After this, the player must release the ball. To allow other players to catch the ball, the player must move a few steps away from it after releasing it.
Another important rule is not to attempt to pass the ball in front. Passing the ball sideways, or laterally, is a better option. You can either kick the ball or pass it to another person.

Rugby does not have downs like soccer. Each team is limited to seven substitutes. These substitutions can be from the same person or from different people. All players must wear high socks, cleats, and long pants.
The pitch must be wide enough so that players can run and play together. There is a 10-minute rest period after the game ends. During this time, the referee can call a penalty or restart the game.
Avoiding tacklers in rugby is one of the most important principles. You need to take a few steps away from the ball if you are being tackled. Doing this will prevent you from being injured. Also, you must learn how to dodge and sidestep tacklers.
