Moving the Ball<br />
Restarting Play<br />
Scoring Points<br />
In rugby, each team has 15 players on the p<strong>it</strong>ch (field of play);<br />
each person’s number signifies the pos<strong>it</strong>ion they play.<br />
Forwards<br />
Forwards have the main job of trying to retain possession<br />
of the ball.<br />
1. Loosehead prop<br />
2. Hooker<br />
3. Tighthead prop<br />
4. Lock<br />
5. Lock<br />
6. Blindside Flanker<br />
7. Openside Flanker<br />
8. Number 8<br />
Backs<br />
Backs are fast, agile and skilled players whose main purpose<br />
is to move the ball down the field–e<strong>it</strong>her by running or by<br />
kicking the ball.<br />
9. Scrumhalf<br />
10. Flyhalf<br />
11. Left Wing<br />
12. Inside Center<br />
13. Outside Center<br />
14. Right Wing<br />
15. Fullback<br />
Rugby is unlike football in that there is no blocking. The person<br />
w<strong>it</strong>h the ball leads the attack. He has the option to carry, pass or<br />
kick the ball.<br />
Play is not stopped when a player is tackled. When tackled, the ball<br />
carrier must release the ball and roll out of the way so other players<br />
may play the ball.<br />
Running<br />
When running the ball, players may continue to run until they are<br />
tackled, step out of bounds, or run beyond the goal line for a try.<br />
Players run the ball to advance <strong>it</strong> toward their opponents’ goal line.<br />
Passing<br />
The ball may be passed to any player on the team, but the pass must<br />
be made laterally or backwards; there is no passing forward.<br />
Kicking<br />
Play can be restarted in three ways.<br />
Line Outs<br />
If the ball goes out of bounds, <strong>it</strong> is restarted w<strong>it</strong>h a line out. Both<br />
teams form a line perpendicular to the touch line and 1-meter<br />
apart from another. A player whose team was not responsible<br />
for the ball going out of bounds may call a play; they then lift the<br />
jumpers and throw the ball in. Players on each team are able to<br />
contest for the ball.<br />
Scrums<br />
A bound group of forwards from each team form a tunnel w<strong>it</strong>h the<br />
oppos<strong>it</strong>ion. The non-offending team puts the ball into the tunnel by<br />
rolling <strong>it</strong> into the middle; each team then pushes forward until one<br />
player is able to hook the ball w<strong>it</strong>h his feet and push <strong>it</strong> back to the<br />
back-row players of his team.<br />
Try<br />
Worth 5 points, a ‘try’ is scored when the ball is touched down into<br />
the opposing team’s in-goal area. (This is much like a touchdown in<br />
American football<br />
Conversion<br />
After a try is granted, two points will be given for a successful kick<br />
that goes through the goal posts. The conversion must be attempted<br />
from the touchdown location for the try.<br />
Penalty Kick<br />
Worth 3 points. Following a major violation by the oppos<strong>it</strong>ion, a team<br />
has the option to kick at goal. The kick must be from the point of the<br />
foul or anywhere on a straight line behind the point of the violation.<br />
Drop Goal<br />
Worth 3 points. A drop goal can be taken from anywhere on the<br />
field at any time during play. A drop goal is similar to a field goal in<br />
football, but the kick is made during the course of normal play.<br />
Any player may kick the ball forward at any time. Once the ball is<br />
kicked, players of e<strong>it</strong>her team, regardless of whether or not the ball<br />
h<strong>it</strong>s the ground, may gain possession. Most kicking occurs to relieve<br />
pressure because of poor field pos<strong>it</strong>ion.<br />
Kickoffs<br />
Kickoffs occur at the beginning of each match, half time and after<br />
any points are scored. The kick needs to travel 10 meters and may be<br />
contested by both teams.
