Rugby Rules explained. Early point scoring was limited to the kicking of conversions. Under the rugby rules at the time, these could only be taken after the ball had successfully been grounded over the opponents line, which were called touchdowns, but no points were awarded for this in the first versions of the Rules of Rugby.
Added to this was the demands of the game itself where the 2 codes split and therefore need to adapt to differing styles of play. In recent years the union code has had huge changes to its rules to facilitate a more open running game whilst maintaing the ruck, lineout maul phases. There have also bee many changes to the rules of both code to bring about higher levels of safety as these 2 code stil use less body protection than similar sports and with higher demands on success being pushed on to players to win there have been some sad events within the game.

What position does number eight play in rugby?
Asked by Wiki User
The number 8's task in Rugby Union is;
In the scrum - bind on the 2 second rows and push them to support the drive forward, to take channel one ball from the hooker and hold or release to the scum half
On breaking from the scum carry the ball and if in a push over try situation actually ground the ball once its at their feet.
To attack the opposing flyhalf as a ball carrier (this is usually the weak point). To protect their own scrum half when they collect the ball at the base of the scrum. To retain the ball when a scrum is successfully pushed forward therefore gaining ground.
To act as a ball carrier in all phases - tackle in defense
Normally a line out jumper and used to "clean up" loose ball at the back of the lineout.
Is one of the potential target receivers from kick off
Is one of main receivers from opposing teams kick off
