Rugby in simple terms is about 90% football and 10% soccer. The game was actually changed in the United States in the early 1900’s, when some rule changes were added to the English version of rugby by adding on padding, helmets, blocking, time-outs, forward passing, and play-making huddles, slowly turning rugby into American gridiron football.
The game is played with two teams, each consisting of fifteen players. Each team can carry, pass or kick the ball to the end zone to score as many points as possible. The team scoring the greater number of points is the winner of the match.
The game begins with a kickoff which is taken from the center of the field. The team with the ball makes every effort to score a try once the ball is in play. 토토 A try is scored when a player touches the ball to the ground in the opponent’s in-goal. The team is then awarded five points. After a try is scored, the team is given the opportunity to score a goal by kicking the ball over the opponents cross-bar and in between the goal posts, scoring an additional two points, also known as conversion points.
The ball must be kicked from a line perpendicular to where the ball was touched down. If the opposing team commits a penalty at any time, the offended team can attempt a penalty kick for three points, either at the goal or a drop kick at the goal from anywhere in the field of play.
Only the ball carrier can be tackled by an opposing player. A tackle occurs when the ball carrier is held by one or more opponents and is brought to ground, has one or both knees on the ground, is sitting on the ground or is on top of another player who is on the ground.
To maintain the continuity of the game, the ball carrier must release the ball immediately after the tackle, the tackler must release the ball carrier and both players must roll away from the ball. This allows other players to come in and contest for the ball, thereby starting a new phase of play.
To the untrained eye, Rugby looks like combat soccer or football without the forward pass and all of the protective equipment. Rugby is the father of American football, but there are many differences in this fast growing sport. This is the fundamental of the Rugby.
