Learn to Ruck




Rugby... there are many things you must know. Like how to handle the ball, how to tackle, how to take a hit, and how to ruck. Rucking is fun.

Ruck: A ruck is formed when the ball is on the ground and one or more players from each team are on their feet in physical contact and closing around the ball. The purpose of this is that each player involved in the ruck, with his/her feet, tries to retrieve the ball without infringing any rules.

Maul: A maul is formed when one or more players from each team are on their feet in physical contact and closing around a player that has possession of the ball.

How to score
Try: When an attacking player grounds the ball in the opponent's in-goal. A try is worth 5 points.

Passing Game
The passing game is pretty simple. A player CANNOT PASS FORWARD. Lateral passes are tolerated but they are sketchy. Backward passes are the way to go, which explains the diagonal line up of the offensive team.
