If a player infringes on the rules of rugby, he may receive a penalty. An infringement can be minor or major. Referees may award the team a penalty, or a free kick. The penalty will be awarded after the infringement is made and the team may restart the game with a kick to touch, a scrum or a place kick.
There are two common types of penalties: a free kick and a place kick. For minor violations, such not releasing or kicking the ball, you can get a free kick. Referees raise an arm in the air when a player is guilty of an infraction. This is known as a Yellow Card. A player may also be given a Red Card, which is a permanent exclusion.
Teams may receive penalty kicks for more serious violations. A referee might also issue a penalty attempt if foul play prevented the team from scoring. Three points are awarded for a penalty try. For kicking beyond the line, a full penalty will be assessed. This kick is normally taken off of the ground by a plastic cone.
If a player is not in the right position, he may be penalized. If a player is positioned in front of the ball, for example, he could be penalised. The same applies to players who are in front or receiving unintentional throws forward. If a player is in front or in front of a ball, however, he cannot be penalised.
You can kick the ball from the side of the attacking team but not from the side of the defending team. This is similar as a self pass. A player can kick from either the centre or the right or left half of the defending side, but not from the attacking side. One player may kick from within the kicking half.
If the defensive player doesn't move back to his place after a tackle, then he could be punished with a penalty. If the defending player tries to pass the ball to the attacking player or if he deliberately throws the ball forward, this could result in a penalty. A player may also be penalised for defending a player who is attempting to cross the dead ball line. In South Africa, players may kick farther from the kicking tee than in other countries. This is to increase the chances that players catch the ball.
A penalty try can be issued if a player deliberately blocks the path for another player. If the defending team member does not roll away, it may result in a penalty. The ball could get stuck in the ruck if the opponent isn't rolling away.
