  The rules as seen by rugby supporters:

  • No knock-ons
  • No offside
  • Goalpost crossbar to be taken down, snapped in half, and planted either side of uprights
  • out of bounds only required because can’t make the ground any bigger and still fit in the stadium
  • professionals must play the same as little kids and all swarm following the ball around the field

    No passing

    Passing yes, but only by punching the ball. No forward pass rule.
