I believe it's Ben Franks, but I'm not positive.

Rugby School is a private school in the town of RUGBY Warwickshire in England.

If you visit .rugbyschool.net/ you will see the whole establishment

At the back of the scrum and roams around the field during general play. Sometimes positioned in the middle of the field

Offside is a very difficult rule in rugby union as it is changing constantly in play and both sets of players (Team in possession and the team defending) can be offside.

To make it easier, i will use examples (during which Team 1 will always be in possession and Team 2 will be defending). Also, during all of this, the player is only offside if the player is active (ie. interfering in any way with any player or the ball)

1st, a player from team1 is offside is he is in front of the ball. The only exception to this rule is if the team1 kicks the ball and that player retreats. If he procedes to chase the ball he is offside. As soon as the kicker is in front of him, he is back onside. A player from team2 cannot be offside if the ball is in open play.

2nd, If a ruck or maul forms or it is a scrum, a player from team2 is offside is he is further forward that than the ruck, maul or scrum. A player from team 1 is offside is he is further forward that the ball (but only if he is not part of the ruck, maul or scrum).

3rd In the case of a throw-in, an imaginary line goes across the pitch from where the throw is taken from. All players in the line out must be 1m away from that line, on there own side and cannot cross that line until one team has the ball secured (a lineout usually has 7 players per team and that includes the scrum half who stands just beside the line out to receive the ball if whoever catches the ball decides to pass the ball out of the lineout). Any player who is not part of the lineout must be 10 metres away and cannot interfere with play until the ball has been secured and has passed out of the lineout.

Finally, an execption to a player on team1 if the ball is kicked from a restart. If the player is in front of the kicker but still inside the deadball area, when the ball is kicked, then he is still onside.

The distance to the Stade de France is not far as itis in Paris.

ANSWER.

Gridiron is one dimensional as players only learn one skill. Rugby union/league demands players learn a vast array of skills in order to play the game.

Gridiron is made up of mere set plays rather than tactics and has no creativity.

As gridiron was invented to avoid global competition then it is inherently a lesser sport than rugby union or league.

----------------------------------------

While gridiron requires greater specialization in general (one cannot generally switch from position to position), it does not require that each player on the field have a fairly decent grasp of all abilities (occasionally a back or scrumhalf may need to ruck or maul). Also gridiron players play for only about 10-12 minutes in each game (being generous) while a rugby player will play for the entire 80 minutes (probably around 70-75 minutes when taking pauses in play into account), and thus, rugby players must focus for longer. Also kicking in rugby (which ALL backs must be able to do), is much more difficult. Drop-kicks anyone? --------------------------------- It depends what you define skill as. Rugby requires a lot more mental strength. You need to be switched on and focused for the full eighty minutes or you won't have a fun game. Passing and kicking in rugby is also a lot harder to master. So in my opinion, having played eight years, and having seen rugby players play gridiron , and gridiron players play rugby, there is a lot more skill envolved in rugby.

acording to my caulains dan carter has gotten 139 and missed 58.

Harlequins of England won the 1987 Melrose Sevens event. Click on the 'Melrose Sevens' link on this page to go to the official Melrose Sevens website.

There have been many changes down the years.

Currently, you get 4 points for a try, 2 points for a conversion or a penalty goal and 1 point for a drop goal.

Before 1981, tries were worth 3 points. Conversions have always been two, penalties used to be 3 before being reduced and drop goals started at 3 before coming down to 2 and, as we have it now, 1.

Wales

Yes but it depends on how you use it

It can be if referring to the town of Rugby

Firhill Stadium, 80 Firhill Road, Glasgow, G20 7AL

The goal posts are 'H' shaped and are placed in the middle of the goal line. The two uprights are placed exactly 5.6 metres apart and the crossbar that links them is 3 meters above the ground.

Only by rubbing something rough on the surface. However, this degrades that ball for kicking. Many players now use a spray resin similar to that used on violin bows. This gives an element of coarseness to the grip without effect the ball

As of the time of answering, the next Rugby World will be from the 18th of September to the 31st of October 2015. The host will be The RFU England. After that, the next one will be from the 6th of September to the 20th of October 2019, hosted by Japan

Firstly rest it.

It will take on average 3 weeks t be back in normal sporting activity. When first pulled or torn. Ice packs placed on the area then replaced with a warm pack (not hot). warm massage - This will be a liitle uncomforatble in the early days of the injury. - When the pain eases following the massage period start doing very light stretching routines. There will be iscomfort doing this until the muscle continues the healing process, still use hot/cold packs to help the recovery process. When the muscle feels comfortable start increasing the stretches, this can include moving up and down steps (this is where the pain will be noted as well as bending)

well in 1956 the first boot made was by a person called by the name of Richmond Henry and he started up a job on Bulls Street California. He soon had a job partner that went by the name of Edmond Fotumanusa and they made a living out of the league boots. When they went to start jobs around USA and then their plane crashed and they died suddenly. It was broad-casted around the world and their wives and children we're all devastated. The wives then took pride in their work and they became the new makers of league boots:'( THEEND<3

Because there are so many levels in the armature and professional ranks, schools, colleges universities, services, pubs clubs, male female and yes there even gay rugby teams, junior youth under 18, under 20, A side B side. The list goes on, its nearly impossible to provide any accurate statistic. However, globally it was estimated that there are an estimated 3/4 of million and growing.

You'd be extremely to attempt a punch in a game of rugby. Firstly if the referee sees, which he most probably will, you'll be red carded and off the field in seconds. Secondly you have to remember that the one person you punched is going to have 14 other team-mates to back him up, most of which will not hesitate to bundle in and help out their mate.
