How do you set up a rugby scrum?
You have 3 people per front the one in the middle is the hooker( no they are not sleeping around), and two props. These are usually the biggest guys who do not do a lot of running but still should be fit. then we have 4 usually larger people with a lot of strength the other two go on the outside. of the props and in between the next row. There face should be on the props butt. Then there are two strong guys who usually are larger. then we have the heavy duty made in the back. it works the same for both teams. Then it is the same for both sides. The players will have to be bonded together. the ref will call crouch touch pause engage and then the scrum half will feed the ball to the middle but as close to his team as possible without having to get penaltize. The apposing scrum half will try to tackle 1st scrum half as soon as the touch the ball if apposing scrum half touches the 1st scrum half before he or she touches the ball it is a penalty.
Do rugby players wear any protective gear?
Most rugby players wear shoulder pads, which protects them when they tackle and for when they are in a scrum or ruck.

What are the mechanics of rugby?
In the forwards of the scrum and lineouts, the simplest way to calculate the power involved will be resolving forces (found in AS Level Physics and Further Maths), in whichever direction, the force is intended to go, will be be along a 2D plane. Lineouts will be trying to achieve greatest 'Force' times with 'sin' 'angle between lifter and lifted'. Scrums are similar, but obviously also trying to save all the power against the opposition's scrum. The angles are important. I don't think you want my pedantic knowledge so alternativley, you can look at the very appropriate book called 'Physics of Rugby'

Who invented the diving pass in rugby?
The concept of Rugby is attributed to William Web Ellis a private school pupil (of Rugby School Warwickshire England) who when playing football (soccer) in 1823 picked up the ball (which was allowed in that game at that time) and instead of retreating to pass the ball to a team member, as was the rule, he decided to run toward the opposing teams goal line. The idea caught on and the games developed as more Rugbians took to this new idea. The game went wider when students went to universities and the armed forces until in 1837 the Football Association decided that carrying the ball was to be outlawed, 6 clubs that liked the carrying concept left and formed the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and thereafter formalised that game's rules.
