LAWS OF RUGBY / REFEREES<br />
Referees<br />
in Rugby<br />
The officials in Rugby have a special role.<br />
Only the two captains on the pitch are allowed<br />
to address them. Referee decisions<br />
have to be accepted by the players without<br />
any discussions whatsoever. The TV audience<br />
can listen to the referees addressing<br />
the players throughout the match via the<br />
referee microphone. Rugby has already<br />
introduced the video referee ten years ago<br />
and it’s widely regarded as a huge success –<br />
the „third match official“ is used at the referee’s<br />
request on close calls with regards<br />
to tries scored or foul play that might result<br />
in a card.<br />

Laws of Rugby<br />
The general idea of Rugby is not hard to grasp.<br />
Two teams trying to score more points than<br />
the opponent on a soccer-sized pitch by either<br />
grounding the ball in the opponent’s in-goal<br />
(worth 5 points) or by dropkicking the ball<br />
through the goalposts (3 points). On defense<br />
players can bring down their opponents by<br />
tackling them below the shoulders. The most<br />
important laws are:<br />
• Passes can only be made backwards,<br />
players can kick ahead though.<br />
• Players score by either putting the ball<br />
down behind the opponent’s goal line<br />
(5 points), or drop-kicking it through the<br />
uprights (2 points for a conversion-kick and<br />
3 for a drop goal during play or a penalty).<br />
• Players can tackle opponents below the<br />
shoulders, however using the arms in the tackle<br />
is compulsory, shoulder checks are illegal.<br />
• Players are offside if they are ahead of the kicker<br />
or not behind the hindmost foot of the ruck.*<br />
• Specific Sevens Laws: A game consists of two<br />
halves of 7 minutes, teams have 7 starting and<br />
5 bench players. A yellow card results in a 2 minute<br />
suspension, the scoring team performs the restart.<br />

* Ein Ruck (veraltet „offenes Gedränge“)<br />
entsteht nach einem Tackle, wenn der<br />
Ball und der getackelte Spieler am<br />
Boden liegen und mindestens zwei<br />
Spieler darüber stehen.<br />
* A ruck occurs after the tackle<br />
when the tackled player and<br />
the ball are on the ground<br />
and at least two players are<br />
on their feet above.<br />
