You may be surprised to learn that rugby has rules. Whether you're a veteran player or just starting out, it's important to understand the rules of the game. 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 positions for rugby players: forwards/backs/full backs, outside centres and outside centre. Backs are smaller and faster players that can extend the ball and are agile. Forwards, on the other hand are bigger and more powerful. They also protect and guard 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, create a scrum. The players on the offensive and defense sides of the game form a scrum. Each team must have its players enter the scrum starting from their own ruck. Alternatively, an attacking team can choose to kick the ball in to regain possession.
The most important rule to know is that you cannot tackle a player while he or she is holding the ball. Because the ball must be available for the player in front of them, you cannot tackle them. The ball can be in the air so you don't have to try and tackle the player.
After a tackle the player on the ground must be able to roll over so that other players can take the ball. The ball must be released once the tackle is complete. The ball is released when the player has completed the release.
You must also remember that you should never pass the ball forward. Instead, you must pass the ball sideways and laterally. You can do this either by kicking it or by passing it on to another player.
Rugby doesn't have any downs. Each team is limited to seven substitutes. These substitutions can be from the same person or from different people. All field players must wear high socks or cleats.
The pitch should be sufficiently long and wide to allow players to play and run without bumping into each other. There is a 10-minute rest period after the game ends. The referee may call a penalty, or restart the game during this period.
Avoiding tacklers is one the most important rules in rugby. If you are being tagged, you need to move a little further away from the ball. Doing this will prevent you from being injured. You should also know how to dodge or sidestep tacklers.

Someone who enjoys skydiving might be afraid of heights.
