What is the role of a lock forward in rugby league?
The lock or 2nd row is classed as the POWERHOUSE where scrummages are concerned. Their task is to generate forward propulsion whilst channeling the ball through to the backrow- Number 8.
Lineouts - The Locks are normally the largest and tallest of the 15 person team and are targeted by the lineout thrower (normally the hooker) to receiver the ball.
Open play has become very important for the lock - Used to clear-out rucks by their physical presence and as much as possible to be a heavy ball carrier.

Answer
Soccer (Association football) and American football have common origins in that they both evolved from a medieval Shrovetide ball game played in England called 'fote-ball'. Other European countries also played Shrovetide ball games by different names from different languages which were very similar to the Shrovetide game played in England. The codes for Soccer and Rugby football both contributed to the creation of the American football code with Rugby having the greatest influence. However, American football is played with 11 players as is Soccer whereas Rugby Union football 15 players and Rugby league football played with 13 per team. Other similarities include a pitch, two goals, two teams, match officials upholding the rules, played in football stadiums and probably most importantly of all football games are supported by two sets of fans without which all forms of football would be still be little more than physical education subject on a school curriculum.

All passes in rugby must travel backwards. There are different varieties of pass, including * the flat, * direct spin pass; * the short, * close-quarters pop pass; * And the floated pass - a long pass which an advancing player can run onto at pace. The spin pass:
-For the spin pass to the right, move the fingers of your left hand up and your right thumb down over the ball as you pass.
-it is easier to learn and practice the spin pass using only one hand and flinging the ball
-hold the ball with the tip up and spin the hand around, letting the ball essentially roll off the hand.
-most spin passes are used for accurate passes at distance
.
The dive pass:
-pick up the ball inside the left foot and dive hard over the right foot at once.

-momentarily delay the movement of your arms and hands.

Men are better than women in rugby but in what way?
Men are not better than women, nor are women better than men. They are different and cannot be accurately compared.
While women are pound-for-pound stronger than men, men are usually bigger, and therefore will be stronger, which of course is a desirable trait in rugby. Having said this, women's rugby is considered by some to be a purer form of the sport, owing to the fact that they tend not to rely on brute force (although there are undoubtedly some female players capable of doing this) and instead rely on skill.
