Can you pass off the floor in rugby union?
Yes as long as it is not a ruck where the tackled player must release the ball allowing players from both sides who are still on their feet (but they will be bending over) to fight for the ball. In Rugby Union and League the ball may only be passed from the hands of the carrier in a backward or adjacent direction i.e. to any player behind their back foot or directly level to them (this is really difficult as the ball can be seen to be going forward and therefore is a foul).

The main differences between rugby league football and rugby union football is that the principal rugby league teams are professional athletes instead of amateurs (albeit rugby union has some semi-professionals). The focus is more on running with the ball and scoring tries, instead of set pieces and kicking. There is almost no kicking in rugby league. You only have 5 tackles of passing and then you must kick over to other time. In rugby union you can kick to the corners downfield and you can have as many phases as you like when controlling the ball. There is a lot more kicking in the union game. League is really just passing. In league a try is 4 point while unions try is 5
