points. On the occurance of penalty-worth occasions, and infractions in rules,.
drop-kicks can be scored for three points apiece.
There are many different regulated formations taken during game-play. .
Scrums are when the eight forwards from each team bind together. There are.
three players in the front row, two players binded behind them, called locks,.
and a three-player back row which includes a left-right flanker, and an eightth.
man. As the packs engage together, a player from the non-offending team, oft.
called the scrum-half, throws the ball in to the tunnel that the two packs form. .
The hooker, or the front center-man, tries to kick the ball back, and throw the.
forwards back so the ball can reenter the game. Back are lined up to the left.
or right of the scrum, so they can try to carry the ball across the goalline to.
score a try.
Rucks are on the same basis as a scrum, but to keep the game.
continuous, rucks are essential. As a player is running with the ball and is then.
tackled, forwards from each team push upon one another to attempt to regain.
control of the ball. Once the ball is free, the scrum-half will pick it off and toss.
it to the backs, so they can begin the laborious attempt of scoring again.
One of the few pauses in gameplay, lineouts are truly essential aspects.
of the competition. If the ball, for any reason, gets knocked out of play, the.
game is paused, and the forwards on each team line out in two seperate lines. .
From the sidelines, a hooker must attempt to toss the ball, from afar, into the.
depths of the now outlined pit of players. The forwards will then grasp one of.
their fellows, and propel his body into the air to catch the ball, and throw it.
back to the scrum half. Putting the ball back into gameplay, the scrum-half.
tosses it to the back to run down-field, or rush into the forward pack, starting a.
ruck.
There are many different ways to conditions the human body for the.
physical obstacles of Rugby.
