Answer 2

its like every other sport; you have to score more than the opposition.

but its not a scripted sport. it requires flair, imagination, creativity, spatial recognition.

your personality will really be what determines if you like it

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

If they ask what position you want to play, if you are unfit, stay out of the forwards.

Answer 5

It depends on the position you want to play, some positions (especially in the forwards) require skills that take longer to master.  I started playing when I was 17, I had a bit of pace and found the wing an easy position to start in, you just have to be able to catch, kick and run, and make the odd tackle. The backs don't have to be as fit as the forwards but the fitter you are the better player you will be. Rugby is great because there is a position for people of all different body shapes, you don't have to be an athelete to play

Answer 6
