Can someone explain the rules of rugby union?
It would take all day, but from one girly to another, here’s a quick guide: Teams are trying to cross each other’s lines for a try, which is worth 5 points. The fly half (kicker) then has the chance to kick the ball between the posts for an extra two points, which is called a coversion. The other way to get points is by kicking penalties, which are worth 3 points each, drop goals, worth 3 points each, or penalty tries, which is the full try amount. Penalty tries come about if the ref thinks the team was illegally prevented from making a move that would definitely have resulted in a try. Other rules are, the ball must not be passed or knocked forward. If it, the team will be called back for a scrum, where the ball is dropped in the middle as the two squads try to push each other in a kind of tug of war. Sometimes, advantage is played. That means, if team 1 does something wrong but team 2 already has the ball back, if team 2 then loses the ball, they can still get a penalty or scrum out
