LI: I am learning to write the rules for playing Rugby Union.
Rugby is popularly called "the game for animals played by gentlemen." The game is in two main forms, rugby union and rugby league, with their own ways to play. Rugby union is normally played in Europe especially England, while rugby league is popular in Australia and New Zealand.
Instructions
1. Assemble two teams of fifteen players each.
2. Start play with the defensive team kicking the ball to the offensive team.
3. Run with the ball until tackled. You may also pass or kick the ball to a team mate, but you cannot pass the ball forward.
4. Release or pass the ball if tackled. If released, the ball is open for anyone to take.
5. The game is only stopped on a rules violation, two opposing players grabbing the ball (known as a ruck or maul) or the ball going out of bounds.
6. Restart play with a scrum after a rules violation, such as a ball dropped forward or a forward pass, or a ruck or maul.
7. This is when the forwards on the team lock up in a huddle and push for the ball by kicking in backwards.
8. The ball is thrown into the scrum by someone on the team that did not commit the violation.
9. Restart play with a line-out if the ball went out of bounds, the forwards on each team line up facing each other.
10. The team that didn't knock the ball out throws it back in, and the players contest for possession.
11. A score is worth five points for a try, which is person touching the ball to the ground in the goal area.
12. A kick is then attempted through the goalposts for two extra points.
13. Score three points for a goal, by kicking the ball through the goalposts while play at a penalty.
Try playing the game. It is lot of fun.

I used to think that there is no difference between American football and rugby. As it turns out, rugby is more enjoyable. It's no surprise that it's very popular in Europe, especially in England.
