It does not matter if your goal is to play rugby, or merely to enjoy watching it. Knowing the basics of rugby is crucial. Rugby is a great game for everyone. It is high energy, challenging, and full of strategy. Competition helps to build skills and improve fitness. It also builds team culture and morale.

Touch and contact are the two types of rugby. Touch rugby uses a heavier ball in the middle. Touchballs cannot be kicked forward or backward. It is considered a tackle when a player touches it.

To be successful at tackling, a player must push another player to the ground, allowing the other player to let go of the ball. After the tackler has completed his move, the ruck must form. Once the ruck forms, the player can go to the back and enter. The ball must be in the back of this player's ruck.

Touch rugby is a form of rugby that has minimal contact. The game's objective is to score the most points. To win, players must play offense and defense to keep others from the try line. The defense must pass the ball back to the attacking team if the ball is lost beyond their reach.


Rugby is a team-based, fast-paced game. Both teams are permitted to play up to fifteen players, although the game is usually played with 10 players. The pitch measures 22 meters in length and can accommodate up to 15 players. At each end of this field are the goal posts. Every player uses different skill sets depending on his position to get the ball.

The attacking team is trying to score the ball. If the team is in possession, the player may kick the ball in the goal or chase it. A scrum is an alternative. During the scrum, a member of the defense will hold up the attacking player, who cannot pass the ball until the scrum is over. The scrum is over and the offensive team can begin play.

Normaly, players cannot tackle one another. However if a player is accidentally dropped forward, he or she is issued a red-card. Red cards disqualify the offending player from the remainder of the match. A team of 14 players will typically have to miss a part of the match.

There are many rules regarding offense and defense. A player who is in front or behind the ball is considered offside. Unlike other sports, there is no protective equipment available for rugby players.

A yellow card is a warning that a player has to sit down for ten minutes after receiving it. Alternately, the player might be awarded a penalty attempt. The decision to award a penalty attempt is often disputed. If the referee gives a penalty attempt, the opposing side is given a place kick. It is kicked from ground to posts. Place kicks are worth three points if they cross the crossbar.
