There are many offences in Rugby that can result in a penalty. In rugby, penalties are taken from where the offence occured and the team then has a couple of options. They can Kick for goal (which is worth 3 points), they can just kick to touch (the throw in will be taken by the kicking team as part of the penalty), they can have a scrum and will have the put in. Or finally they can tap the ball, which restarts the game, there and then (the opposition have to be atleast 10 metres away though). Offences include: holding onto the ball on the ground (after being tackled), violent conduct, tackling a player in the air, high tackle, deliberate knock on, intentionally collapsing the scrum (inproper bindings), obstruction, offside, unsportsmenlike conduct and many more.
