...The primary aim is to carry or kick the ball towards the opponent's goal line where points can be scored by grounding the ball; this is called a try. After scoring a try, the team is allowed the chance to try at goal with a conversion - a kick for further points. The opposing team will attempt to stop the attacking side gaining points by preventing their progress up the field by tackling the player carrying the ball. Read full entry

What is the most important I know that they are all
important but what is the most
important in general play.
I watch many games of both
League and Union but I can
never work out who has the
real important position.
And where do the 'playmakers'
userally play.
I am an AFL fan but I want to
learn more about the Rugby
codes. Dont worry, i wont be a
convert!

The playmakers are for - rugby league: halfback, number 7 and 5/8 (five-eighth), number 6. - rugby union: fly half or 5/8 (five-eighth), number 10 These playmakers would be the most important for each code. |

rugby union is played by 15 players on each team whereas rugby league is played by 13 players. in rugby league the rules are a bit different compared to union. for e.g....a team only gets 6 chances when the player is tackled to continue playing, after they have used up those 6 chances then they have to turn the ball over to the opposition. thats why if u have ever watched this game then you would notice that they usually kick the ball after the fifth tackle. if you are tackled to the ground, meaning there is no going forward. then the opponents release u and u have to play the ball again. this will continue 6 times. its a little bit less dangeruos and strenous compared to union....but you have to be very skillful to play this game. i hope i cleared even a little bit of curiosity. |
