Why do they tackle in rugby?

Answer 1

A player can call a 'mark' if they catch the ball on the full in their own twenty two (if it has been kicked by an opposition player, of course).Tthe opposition must retreat ten metres and the player who caught the ball can kick the ball or tap the ball with their foot to restart play.

Answer 2

This brings the game to a stop. The catcher then has to have their defending team players brought back behind them (on side) and the game recommences with the ball being kicked to gain ground. The original rules was to allow a team being attacked to make a strategic catch and move the ball from a defence situation into attack.

Answer 4
