Rugby

The activity I chose to do is Rugby. I chose this because not many people know what this sport is and i wanted to inform people of how interesting of a sport this is. The team that i followed was Warick Swarm. The come from Litiz but anyone can play on the team since it s a club sport. Many kids from many different schools can participate in this. The game that i watched was the Carlisle v.s Warkick. I went to this game with a fellow classmate who knows the game very well, that classmate...is Jon Williams. He played for Warwick but the switched to a much better team out of Harrisburg known as West Side United. He said he would go with me to help me understand the game and to tell me what all was going on. I learned a couple different things from when I was there due to his well known knowledge of the game. He taught me many things like a try, scrum, ruck, throw in and many of the penalties that occurred. Try- a try is when someone scores. Unlike football you have to put the ball on the ground in the (end zone) or past the try line and or goal line. This try is worth 5 points and you kick for 2 unlike in football a touchdown is worth 6 and you kick for 1. Scrum- a scrum happens after a penalty. After any penalty a team can choose to run it, kick it, kick for touch (kick for a throw in) or scrum. If a team knows they are stronger then the other team the will chose to scrum. this is when the two teams face each other and inner-lock shoulders while a play rolls the ball in and gets hooked back through the pack. ruck- A ruck happens when a player goes to get tackled but doesn’t go down and his teammate come up behind and tries to push the pack down field. Touch- a touch is just the same as a throw-in in soccer. teams line up side by side and get lifted in the air to get the ball that is being thrown in.
