Answer 1

My wife says the purpose of Rugby is to train two nights a week, play one day a week so that you can drink the rest of the week with buddies from the Rugby club.

Answer 2

There is a book out there called Rugby For Dummies.  Also, I saw alot of good websites mentioned by other people who answered the question.  My boyfriend though says he learned the most by joining a team and asking questions.

Answer 3

Hi,

This website will help you understand some of the basics (videos and written explanations): http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa...

Answer 4

In a nutshell its just a case of carry the ball over your opponents line for a try- 5 points, then your kicker gets to kick for goals to add a further 2 points.  So if your kicker is accurate your team gains 7 points per try.  Players may not pass the ball forwards, but may kick it forward.  Its also sometimes ok to hurt other players.

Answer 5

Answer 7

If you want a full description of the laws and regulations, I would suggest you have a look at the International Rugby Board (IRB) web site. http://www.irb.com/EN/Home/

The full laws for the game can be got at http://www.irb.com/NR/rdonlyres/8910ED80...

Note, this is a pdf file.

Other options for the laws can be found at http://www.irb.com/EN/Laws+and+Regulatio...

Hopefully you will be able to understand the laws :)
