When you play rugby, you may be surprised to know that there are certain rules that must be followed. It doesn't matter if you are a veteran or just starting out in rugby, it is important to know the rules. It can be hard to keep up with these rules at first. It is possible to use a Rule Book, or the World Rugby legal book, to help guide you.
There are four basic positions for rugby players: forwards/backs/full backs, outside centres and outside centre. Backs are smaller and more agile players who are fast and can stretch out the ball. Forwards, however, are larger and more robust. They also protect the ball.
The ball must reach the defending team's goal zone in order for an attacking team score a try. 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. A scrum is formed when the players on the defense or offensive side of the line get together. The scrum must be entered by both sides from their respective rucks. Alternatively, an attacking team can choose to kick the ball in to regain possession.
The most important rule is to not tackle a player with the ball in their hands. This is because the player in front of you must have the chance to pick up the ball. It is possible to injure a player by attempting to tackle him while the ball's still in his hands.
After a tackle, he or she must roll to the side so other players can get the ball. When this is done, he or she must then release the ball. Upon release, the player must take a step or two away from the ball to allow other players to have a chance to catch the ball.
Another important rule is not to attempt to pass the ball in front. Pass the ball either sideways or laterally. This can be done by either kicking the ball or passing it to another player.
Rugby does not have downs like soccer. Each team has a maximum of seven substitutes. These substitutions may be made by the same player or different players. All players should wear high socks and cleats.
The pitch must be long and wide enough to allow players to run and play without running 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.
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 help you avoid getting hurt. Also, you must learn how to dodge and sidestep tacklers.
