Rules

Rugby is simple. One of the most simple rules is that you have the pass the ball backwards, if you pass it forwards you get a penalty.Another simple rule is if you catch the ball and it falls in front of you, it’s called a knock on and at that point you either get a penalty or do a scrum or line out. A scrum is 3, 5 or 8 man play depends on how many players are on the field.The positions are explained in the "Positions prop" page.
