Are the rules of rugby hard to learn?

Question

I want to learn how to play rugby, but I don't know how I would be able to do that...does anyone have advice?

Answer 1

hm..... well i learned it while doing p.e. so like play it with you friends the ruled id say takes about 3 times to play the game to fully understand!!!!

Answer 2

the rules are preti straight forward but there are some very vague rules that takes a while to get used because refs interpert in differently..

Answer 3

I don't think they are hard to learn. I did a bit of research on the internet for rugby rules (do you want to know the rules for rugby LEAGUE or rugby UNION - big national teams like the All Blacks play union). After that, I would say watch some games... the more you watch, the more you learn. It also helps if you know someone who KNOWS rugby watch a game with you. I was still sketchy on details, but my bf at the time filled in most of the blank spots of the rules for me.

Hope this helps!

Rugby doesn't seem that hard to figure out; it looks a lot less complicated than American football.  The man I am dating plays rugby, so I'm trying to gain some understanding about what happens so I can watch his games.  I actually just started reading "Rugby for Dummies" and it provides a pretty good overview of the rules and terminology.  I've got a ways to go, but at least now I understand some of the things he's talking about!  Start small and watch some matches.
