Although Rugby at coral.com looks like a simple game where the object is to place the ball over the opposition’s line then kick the funny shaped ball over the two posts, there are quite a few different rules for all aspects of the game called Rugby.
Scoring points, this is done by scoring trys, conversions, drop goals and penalties in your opponent’s goal area, with more points added for penalties (3) to conversions(1).
Players, each team is made up of 15 men of all shapes and sizes, normally with the big powerful men being in the forward line and the small man being number 8 or fly half.

The Ruck, although this sounds like the part where both teams just start fighting! It actually can be a team’s strongest point to their game much like the Argentinean’s approach to Rugby, if a tackled player goes to ground they must release the ball immediately, with other players waiting to grab the ball to continue the drive.

The Scrum, The Scrum is a way of restarting a game when a foul has occurred, either a knock on, offside, or when the ball has remained in a ruck for instance, a maximum of eight players are allowed in a scrum normally the forwards, players in a scrum lock necks and try to force each other back a few vital yards trying to gain some extra yardage.
The Line out, is a way of re-starting play after the ball has been knocked or kicked out of play past the touch line, 3, 5 or 7 players normally contest a line out which must be taken on the exact spot where the ball went out of play.
The team that did not kick or put the ball out of play have to decide how many players will make up the line out before throwing the ball back in and starting an attack.
