II/ Game’s rules, rugby’s field, the position of the players on the field
a)The foot game :
A player is allowed to kick the ball with his foot. He can clear it out of play to put danger far from his half or to come closes to the opponent’s goal line.
He can also try an up and under ; this means kick the ball very high and run after it to catch it before your opponent.
b)The scrum :
Decided by the referee after a forward pass, the scrum puts eight players of the two teams head to head, shoulder against shoulder. The scrum half of the no guilty team introduces the ball in a tunnel betwenn the two teams. The hooker tries to touch the ball with his foot and make it roll out.
c)The tackle :
To stop the ball carrier, we must tackle him. The opponent can be held anywhere on the body except the throat and the face (high tackle) then you make him fall. The tackled player must immediatly release the ball or pass the ball for the play to go on. If he doesn’t, there will be a penalty try.
d)The 15 players and their part :
In front we find the pack (the strong ones) : they have to break into the opponent’s half. You can find 2 prop forwards, one hooker, two second-rows, 2 third-rows placed on the side and a center third row. Behind we find the three quarters ; they use moves and often run fast to take their opponents by surprise.
We also find a scrum half and a stand off half, two three quarter enters two three quarter wing and a fullback.
