When you play rugby, you may be surprised to know that there are certain rules that must be followed. You don't have to be a professional player, but it is essential that you understand the rules. These rules can be confusing at first. You can consult a rulebook or the World Rugby Law Book to help 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 on the other side are stronger and larger. They also protect your ball.
The ball must reach the defending team's goal zone in order for an attacking team score a try. Fouls are when a defense player comes in contact with the ball carrier while the ball is still in the air. This means the attacking team must stop playing.
Next, you need to create a scrum. A scrum is a group of players from the offensive or defensive side of a line. Each team must have its players enter the scrum starting from their own ruck. Alternately, an attacking team can choose not to take possession.
It is important to remember that you can't tackle a player who is still holding the ball. The reason is that the ball must be accessible to 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, 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 player who releases the ball must step back a bit to give other players a chance at catching it.
Another rule is to never attempt passing the ball forward. You must instead pass the ball laterally or sideways. This can be accomplished by either kicking or passing the ball to another player.
Rugby doesn't have any downs. Each team is allowed 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 be long and wide enough to allow players to run and play without running into each other. At the end of the 80 minute game, there is a 10 minute rest period. 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 attacked, you must take a few steps away. This will help you avoid getting hurt. You must also learn to sidestep and dodge tacklers.
