Scrum defending ball. If an intentional knock on the its a penalty from the point the offence occurred - The exception is a charged down ball where play continues.

If the referee believes that a defending player has deliberately knocked on preventing a try taking plas then a penalty try is awarded under the posts.

Why only pass backward in rugby?

If you pass forward, it will be a forward pass. ~ The "back pass" rule in both codes is one of the few, close to original rules that comes from the day of Webb Ellis "running with the ball". The rules of his time only allowed a player to retreat backwards carrying the ball or kick forwards. The pass in line or behind the ball carrier was placed in the rule book so that the ethos of the ball to the rear was still kept and it was then made an offence to throw/pass the ball forward of the original carrier, however, the carrier can kick the ball forward.
