Rugby is a test of your problem solving skills. There are 15 problems wearing different colored shirts that you have to be ready to solve, on the fly. They USUALLY have different shirts. Sometimes, being brutes, we get our signals crossed and the red and white team jerseys are playing against the solid red jerseys because someone put the wrong person in charge of the details.
Organization is helpful because once the whistle blows and the ball is in the air the adrenaline kicks in. If you aren't ready to rock and roll, someone else will ruck you to the moon. The ruck is where rugby gets it's name. Rucking is after the tackle, where the dudes in pads and helmets and lycra pants stop the play. This is where rugby really begins.
The man who was tackled is supposed to release the ball upon contact with the ground. He is allowed to place the ball where he likes, of course, and this is where the art of the tackle, and the art of being tackled, come into play. This is where the fun is because people try to cheat the rules and hold on to the ball a little too long and GET A TASTE OF MY METAL BOOTS FOR CHEATING. That's why we wear metal studs in our boots, for traction and justice. If you decide to cheat, there are fifteen people and the ref ready to thwart your cheating ways. Sometimes the ref can't see all thirty players at once. So you kind of police yourselves and get your point across about your stance on cheating.
