Are football and rugby 2 different things in England?
Yes, they are. Football in England is what we call soccer there, and Rugby is a British way of what we call football. Now, both rugby and football are very different things. There are two different types of rugby, rugby league and rugby union. League is played with 13 players per team. Like American Football it plays til the ball carrier is brought down in a tackle, like downs. The attacking team has to score before the sixth tackle, after each tackle, the game restarts with a knock back similar to a scrimmage, if the ball carrier is tackled sixth time possession of the ball passes to the other side. This tends to be a running game with few kicks. Union is played with 15 a side, there is no limit to the number of tackles and the games doesn't stop at a tackle but continues on the ground in a ruck or a maul. A ruck the players are on the ground, a maul the players are on their feet. This leads to more of a mixed game of kicking the ball and running with it. Neither version of the game allows the ball to be thrown forward, and there are no individual squads for attack or defense, the starting 15 play every part of the game.
No Side in a rugby game?
Throughout the game either one side or the other has possession of the ball. At the end of the game the referee calls "no side" to indicate that neither side has possession of the ball thereafter.
What is a rugby ruck and maul?
A ruck is where a player has been tackled and has been gone to ground after both opposition and their own players have joined and created a ruck. The hands must NOT be used in a ruck after it has been formed.A maul is often formed after a line-out or kick off has happened and the tackled player has been held up on their feet, and both opposition and their own players have joined it as it is. A maul may be pushed by the ball possessors to gain some ground or by the defense team to protect the goal line. It is the role of the defenisve team (those not in ball ownership) to attempt to pull then ball from the holding player this is known as "ripping the ball". A maul may progress from where the ball is held by a player in the centre of the "maul" to the ball being passed backward to the last person in that maul. The maul may contine to move forward toward the defending teams goal line. This is a "rolling maul". England are one of the few who have perfected this really well and use it to great effect to protect a ball carrier and gain ground.
