5. 100 meters long with a try zone on each side
Object of the game: Run the ball up the field to
score a try.
There are 15 people on each team
Forwards: strong men on the front lines who help
move the ball up the field. Preform scrums and
lineouts.
Back: sleek and faster players have most ball
handling and scoring attempts.

Wing (11): Run
Full Back (15):RUN!
8. Starts with kick off.
Running forward and kicking ball gains yards.
CAN ONLY PASS BACKWARD!
When a player is tackled he presents the ball back
to his team and a ruck is formed.
Ruck is done to keep or obtain possession of the ball
9. Last foot of their own teams player becomes
the off-sides line off of a ruck.
“Kicking for touch”: another way to gain yards.
Forces a line out.
10. Both teams line up across from each other and
lift a player to try to get the ball. Hooker
throws in usually

Scrum: test of strength between the two teams.
Two teams come together by locking heads and
the scrum half then rolls the ball between the two
teams.

down.
Conversion (2 points): kick through the goal posts after a try

piece.
Penalty kick (3 points): kicking for points instead of
choosing a scrum or other set piece
