| Players: |
| Each team is made up of 15 players, the 15 are then split into two groups, eight forwards and seven backs. The forwards are the big ugly guys who do all the hard work and the backs are the pretty boy quaterback types who get all the glory. (There are also seven and 10-man versions of rugby union, played almost exclusively at tournaments.) |

| No. 4 & 5 - Second Row or locks |
| No. 6 & 7 - Flankers or Wing-forward |

| Officials: |
| There is one referee (hated by all) assisted by two touch judges, who mark where the ball goes out of play,adjudge kicks at goal and inform the referee of faul play. These guys are always right (even when they are wrong). |
| Passing: |
| All passes in rugby must travel backwards. |
