Rules
The laws of Rugby Union are very complicated.
The key rule to rugby union play is that the person who is carrying the ball at any time cannot pass the ball to a teammate who is closer to the opposition goal line. The ball must always be passed sideways or backwards.
Only the player with the ball may be tackled. Tackling is when the player with the ball is brought to the ground by an opposition player. The opposition player must use their hands to hold onto the ball carrier, and wrestle them to the ground.
When the player with the ball is on the ground, players from the opposition team may stand over him and attempt to grab the ball off them. The opposition players must remain standing ('on their feet'). Meanwhile, the player with the ball will try to pass the ball backwards along the ground to a teammate. His teammates will pile their bodies on top of the player with the ball to stop the opposition from getting it.
During the game, there are four officials who enforce the rules. The referee runs alongside players as they play the game. The referee controls the game.
The two touch-judges patrol the out-of-bounds areas. They also indicate when a goal kick has been successful.
The TMO, or 'television match official', helps the referee with difficult decisions. Only some games use a TMO.
