All info about first time play rugby?

Question

Answer 1

you do do not:

run for a first down

block anyone

run infront of the ball carrier

drop the ball

disrespect anyone

run for "yardage"

be selfish

pass foward

be offsides

make sure you explode through the ball when you catch it and run with the ball in both hands pointing straight up and down so its easier to pass when you have to...always look before you pass and dont worry about the spiral, worry about making a good pass.

gauge your run on the person with the ball making sure your are beind them when you receive the pass and be very vocal "left! right! wide! now! ball! inside!"

it doesnt matte who is infront of you its who is behind you that counts.

tackle by wrapping up and hitting below the shoulders not like in football where you just fly into someone.

Educate yourself on the games rules before you play.....get books, watch videos on youtube, play rugby 08 on ps2, and be respectful to ur coach and teammates..rugby is a true team sport...camaraderie respect and trust is of upmost importance. know the rules before you play and ask questions......dont be an all star no it all, its completely ok.

most importantly...run...run..run..... need to be in shape to play rugby..its 80 minutes of nonstop action and you play both offense and defense..run on your free days and make sure you at least get your heart and legs into shape..weight lifting comes secondary..and get urself some soccer cleats and amouthgaurd ..yull need them.

hope this helps

cheers
