  1. "Laws' not rules.

    Yeah, I just kinda started myself. Hit me up if you want. keptcompany@yahoo.com

    (www.scrum.com)


  2. go to your local rugby club with your boots. best way to learn

  3. www.scrum.com has a good section on playing the game. there's a basic principles link to get you started, as well as more in depth info once you know more about the game.

    you could also try international rugby board website (www.irb.com) which will also be able to give you info on unions in every country with a rugby team :O)

    hope that helps!

  4. Rugby is a full contact sport where the main objective is to score points by touching the ball down (where American Football got "touchdown") in the try zone (end zone) which is called a try. Five points are rewarded for a try. Two points for a point after. Three points for a penalty kick. Three points for a drop kick (ball must hit the ground first and then be kicked through the goal posts). Rugby uses passing skills similar to basketball, kicking skills similar to soccer, and tackling/running skills similar to football.

    The best similarity is that of a constant option football play. No forward passing, no blocking, and you run towards an end zone. That's about where the similarity ends. The rules are different (no forward passes, no blocking, must wrap on tackles) and rugby is dynamic and fluid and the game doesn't stop. Think of it more as soccer with tackling.

  5. usarugby.com

    The website has contact info for all registered clubs across North America.  There is a section for coaches which describes a typical training session including fitness and skills drills.  This will give you an idea of what to expect before going out for a club team.

    There is also a very helpful link to all of the rules.

    Hope this helps!

  6. google it

  7. BBC sports, rugby union.
