I knew that there are 15 players per team and that there are no forward passes allowed. It was easy to figure that the ball has to be carried into the endzone. As for my points, you know how there are formations in football? Aside from the obvious position of goalkeeper, teams play in formations like 4-2-3-1, so four defenders, two defensive midfielders, three offensive midfielders and one striker. For the rugby game yesterday, they showed the formation I posted previously. But the catch was that there is no such thing as a formation in rugby, because the 15 guys line up across the field and that's it. Since the game is played that way, why didn't they just list the 15 players like they did with the eight substitutes? A basic list from top to bottom instead of a fancy formation that does not exist in the game. The other thing were those huge piles that are done for I don't know what reason. About a dozen of players of each team embrace each other and then one of the remaining players rolls the ball under those guys, somebody picks up the ball and throws it to a bystander before the game continues normally. And if you still don't understand what I am talking about, then you don't understand rugby. |
What point are you trying to make? That something you don't like in a sport isn't to your preference?
As for formations, the distinctions between the positions(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_positions) you will find that they are much more defined than you might think.
