There are two types worldwide of rugby. The rugby league is played in Australia, the UK and New Zealand. Both codes have different rules and differing rules. Although they may seem confusing at first glance, you can make them fun and enjoyable with some effort.
While both codes involve some tackling and passing, there are some important differences. Rugby League uses an ovoid football that moves between the sides. This means that the ball must be taken out of play by the team if they lose it.
Another difference is the number or players that are playing on the field. A rugby union match will feature two teams of 15 players, while a rugby league game is usually played with 13 players. The game ends if one team loses the ball.
In terms of scoring, a try is worth 5 points, and a penalty is worth 2. Drop goals are worth one point. A conversion on the other side is worth two points.
In a rugby league match, the most important rule is that each team must only be able to tackle six times before giving up and giving the ball away. To prevent this, the defending team must stay back at least 10 metres from where the ball is being taken.
Other than these minor differences, the scoring system for both games is identical. A player who touches the ball over the goal line is considered a try. A conversion is a kick to score two additional opulent points.
A lineout is another difference in a rugby union match. The lineout is where the team begins the game, just like the name. The ball is then handed to a player, who is lifted up by his teammates. The game then resumes after the lineout. One of the players may then kick the ball or run with it.
A match between rugby league teams is played over 40 minute halves. A team can only make 10 substitutions during a match. These substitutes can be of any type, including backs or forwards.
Notable are several minor rules. A ruck is an arrangement of players that are grouped together to compete for the ball. A scrum is another group of players that gathers in a circle to start a new play. Finally, a player may attempt to jump and intercept a throw.
Another difference is that a league match often uses an ovoid bball. This ball can be used in three ways. An exception to this rule is the rugby union match, which will often include a contested scrum.
Rugby union matches are not like rugby league games. A team cannot tackle the ball carrier. Instead, players on the receiving end of a rugby tackle can kick the ball or jump to intercept it.
