Rugby is a demanding game. It requires concentration and skill. It takes years of dedication to be able to play well. You must be able run and catch the ball and think clearly.
Although rugby has many variants, the goal of the game is the same: score points running and passing the ball. Each team has 15 players on the field, and each one has his or her role in the offense and defense. The attack is led by the player who has the ball. Other players must push him or her off the field.
A rugby match can be played on a surface that is approximately the same size as an soccer field. It is lined with posts that are called goals. Goals are worth three points, and the team that scores gets the ball back. There are four ways to score: a goal drop, a try or conversion, and penalty.
A try is when a team runs over or through the goal zone of another team. This is when football receives the nickname "touchdown". If a player runs over the opposing team's goal line, they are awarded a try, and they are given the chance to score a few points. They get a converted if they can kick through the upright posts.
A try is worth five points. If a conversion is scored, it is worth two. It can also be scored from any part of the pitch. Soccer goals can be kicked from tee or from the sidelines, and a penalty can be kicked from any part of the field.
Rugby is a fast-paced game that can last several minutes. There are no downs in rugby, but there is no stopping the action. A play can last for 30 phases. That's about the time it takes to complete a soccer game. Players must always keep their hands on the ball. There are no timeouts or helmets unlike in other sports.
The spirit of the sport is great and players can get in the spirit by congratulating one another after the game and shaking hands. Once a player has caught the ball, he/she can either give it to a teammate or pass it in reverse. The same goes for players who are tackled. They must release the ball to allow the tackled person to take the ball and run with it.
The offsides ruling can be confusing to those unfamiliar with the game. However it gives an advantage to the team on the right side of the field. If a player crosses over the imaginary line offsides, the penalty is applied and the ball awarded to the opposite team.
Forward passing is not allowed in rugby. You can pass the ball forwards, backwards and sideways. However, a player cannot be tackled or pushed out of the way in order to be able to pass the ball.
