Have Fun

I know my Kids Love It.

Brian Habana or Jason Robinson.

It's hard to say who is the fastest...

Including players in their primes the fastest i would have is #1 caucau, William Ryder, Bryan Habana, Brent Cullen, Rocokoko

There's a nice video list at http://www.rugbygamers.com/news/fastest-rugby-player.html where you can watch all the fastest rugby player videos.

In 2009 - Shane Williams of Wales and Ospreys was recorded as the fastest player over 200 metres.

Jason Robinson....

Right Now I say Tom Varndell

(Though, really, I think that to answer that more accurately, you're going to have to put them all in a flat race over [say] 25 metres ... and perhaps races over 50M and over 100M!

Do you think you can stage such an event?lol

A flat race event such as this is staged at half time each year during the year's AFL Grand Final at the MCG.)

Tackles which are classed as dangerous, collapsed scrums, stamping with studs to the body of undefended players, gouging, broken bones in tackles/falling, head injuries

Rugby is a demanding contact sport with diverse positions. There are many variations such as Union, 7s, 12s, League. However the most common variation is rugby union. Rugby union is played with 15 players per team on the field, the first 8 are called forwards and participate in set plays such as scrums and line-outs. They are typically the bigger players in the teams. The other 7 are called back and are typically the ones running the ball across the field and making complex plays that include passes and runs. What is expected of a player depends on his category (forward/back) and on his position in his category. The position is also typically linked to the number on the jersey. It is also important to mention that all players take part in both the offence and the defence.

The games concept is simple.

Gain possession of the ball, passing of the ball across field in line with the ball carrier or behind the ball carrier to a team member so that the ball is taken to the in goal area of the opposing team. The ball must then be placed on the ground in the "in goal area" (the goal line constitutes the goal area) with hand pressure to gain a try, the name of the score. There after the scoring team may attempt to kick the ball over the cross bar (between the up right posts) of the opposing teams goal posts to "convert " a try and add points to the score. Penalty goals can be awarded where the team award the penalty can kick the ball if possible over the posts of the opposing team to gain more points. If in possession of the ball an attacking team player may attempt a drop goal score. This is where the ball is dropped to the floor and as it hits the floor it is kicked over the opposing teams posts.

Munster have won the Heineken cup twice, first time in 2006 beating

Biarritz 23-19 and won again in 2008 beating Toulouse 16-13.

Both finals were played in the Millennium Stadium,Cardiff.

if you had the initial base area which is hardcore and draining set in the cost of turfing averages £7000 for the grass and about 2000 for laying the grass. The cost then for marking out is 300 GBP. If you are considering the entire ground the cost is somewhere in the region of 22 million for a basic club set up and facilities

The RFU Junior Vase 2nd round match between Streatham-Croydon and Old Walcountians, held at Frant Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey, UK on 6th November 2010, yielded an astonishing eight yellow cards, with Old Walcountians scraping through 23-22.

Last night's (20th March, 2009) super 14 match between the Hurricanes and the Bulls saw a record number of yellow cards for Super Rugby being given. The referee issued a total of six yellow cards, or 5 yellow and one red (one player was yellow carded twice and his second yellow automatically became red).

The points value of a try was increased from 4 points to five points in 1992. The first player to score an international five point try seems to have been Inga Tuigamala for the All Blacks vs the Wallabies in Sydney on 4th July, 1992.

Jonah Lomu scored 37 tries in Test matches for the All Blacks. A further 26 tries in Super rugby, 18 in provincial rugby in New Zealand and 1 for Cardiff in Wales. He also played for 3 games for Marseille in France but did not score.

He did not actually invent ruby as such - that came later in the century when a group of clubs headed by Black Heath sat down and compiled the rules of the game. However, Webb-Ellis was the inspiration behind the game by picking up the all and running with it in 1823

You can approach the players club - preferably after a match of before one. There are some players that will sign off a shirt without a problem. However, as more agents and managing agents get involved they are charging for shirts, match balls and pictures.

If you are the kind of forward looking to make an impact you should be making at least up to five (preferably more) tackles a game. But what is more important is not how many tackles you make rather how GOOD the tackles are. Youv'e got to hit'em hard and make them think twice before running the ball up again.

Side step, Changing direction to set defensive players on the wrong footing

switching or scissor - normally done by the backs where the ball carrier is passing the ball behind their back to another player who is running in the opposite angle to the ball carrier, this changes the defense line and can make gaps open up through which the receiving carrier can burst through

The code of football later known as rugby union can be traced to three events: the .... Other rugby clubs followed this lead and did not join the Football Association. .... In practice the rule has only been applied to the sports of soccer, and rugby, in

the 19th century rugby unions where running casualties in sport then created the first life time game in a rugby staduim

Referee 2x Touch Judges (one on each side of the field, while one will watch for offside, the other will be looking for forward pass etc) Video Referee

The Forwards: The Front Row... 1. Loosehead Prop - Supports or 'props-up' the hooker when scrummaging. Lifts players in the line-outs. Assists in rucking and mauling. Crashes the ball through the line. Called loose-head as one side of his head is on the outside of the scrum. Gethin Jenkins 2. Hooker - 'Hooks' the ball in the scrum. Throws the ball into the lineout. Assists in rucking and mauling. Jerry Flannery 3. Tighthead Prop - (See no. 1) Called tight-head as both sides of his head will be inside the scrum. Euan Murray The Second Row... 4. Second Row (a.k.a Lock) - Often tallest member of the team. Jumps in the line-out to catch the ball. Pushes behind the front row in the scrum. Also rucks and mauls. May choose to pick up the ball at the base of a ruck and carry it forwards. Will often use their size and strength to gain ground in loose play. Alun Wyn Jones 5. Second Row (a.k.a Lock) - (See no. 4) Paul O'Connell The Back Row... 6. Blindside Flanker - Known as blindside as he binds onto the scrum the side that is closest to the touchline. It's his job to make covering tackles on anyone who attempts to sneak round the blindside of the scrum. Will win ball in rucks. Superior fitness to other forwards. Tom Croft 7. Openside Flanker - Known as the openside as he binds onto the scrum the side that is furthest from the touchline. He will try and break from the scrum before the other forwards to put pressure on the opposition fly-half. A big tackler and a quick runner. May join up with the back line to form an overlap in attacking play. Martyn Williams 8. No. 8 - Gets his name from being the 8th forward. A big, powerful runner. Sits at the back of the scrum driving it forward. Will provide the 'back-foot' of the scrum giving the scrum half time to get the ball out. May also pick the ball up from the back of the scrum and crash it forward. Jamie Heaslip The Backs:Half-Backs... 9. Scrum-Half - He is the transition player between the forwards and the backs. He will take the ball from the forwards from line-outs, scrums, rucks and mauls and feed it to the backs. It's his job to control the forwards. Very good handling skills, especially when passing off the floor. Will pressurise his opposite player during scrums and try to agitate the opposition forwards. Harry Ellis 10. The Fly-Half - Usually responsible for all the major kicking duties. He is the play maker, acting as a pivot creating gaps and choosing which back to pass to. A good runner with good visual and spatial awareness. Ronan O'Gara The Centres... 12. Inside Centre - Out of the two centres he will be the stockier member of the two. Responsible for crash balls, but if he sees a gap he will take it. Reasonably speedy. Will tackle any rampaging forward to come his way. Jamie Roberts 13. Outside Centre - Scores plenty of tries. A very good runner, always in support of his inside man ready to exploit the gaps he creates. Will be ready to take down any backs who fancy a run. Brian O'Driscoll The Wings... 11. Left Wing - Possibly the quickest player on the pitch. The majority of tries will be under this man's name. May have to retreat back to help cover kicks with the fullback. A competent kicker under pressure. Ugo Monye 14. Right Wing - (See no. 11) Tommy Bowe The Fullback... 15. The Fullback - The last man. He will stand at the back waiting for a kick or a breakaway in defensive play, but will join the line to make an overlap in attacking play. Always ready to take the high ball. A good runner. An excellent tackler as he is the last line of defense. Master at kicking under pressure. (In some teams he may take penalties, but this is mostly the role of the fly-half) Rob Kearny

A huge generalization of course and also largely dependant on the country. IE The players in New Zealand would be a lot bigger than in Japan. Lets talk about the big guys of world rugby. New Zealand(All Blacks), South Africa(Springboks) and the Australian(Wallabies). All southern hemisphere. The props are generally the heavy guys, a decent international prop is about 115-130kg. These guys are the brute strength of the team to go one way, forward. The locks are the really tall guys but also quite big. Average height for an international lock is about 6ft5 to 6ft8 and in the region of 118kg. These guys win the line out ball, both for and against the throw. The back three( numbers 6, 7 and 8) aren't quite as big but are generally the quicker guys around the field. Average height is about 6ft4, weight would be about 110kg.

A Try is the highest scoring point maker available with 5 points

then it is a penalty kick with 3 then a conversion kick which you take after a try. So a try is the equivalent of a goal in football

A line-out is the means by which, in rugby union, the ball is put back into play after it has gone into touch. It is the equivalent of the throw-in in association football.

the forwards normally seven of them from each side line up along side each other at the point the ball went in to touch. The first player from each line must stand on a line that runs parallel to the touch line and is 5 meters in infield. The thrower, normally the hooker (no 2) will then throw the ball in the middle of the 2 lines of players. The players then must jump to take the ball and therefore gain advantage

In the Zurich Premiership, the average yearly pay for a senior squad member was £60,000 in 2005. Some people get paid 3 million though yeh it has gone up to about 80,000 now 2009

Van Bosten "the great" from New Zealand : 25 stones 9 pounds, which makes 163 kg Another answer comes from Fidji : Bill Cavubati (Fidji) at 165kg, heaviest player at an international level
