The thing is with rugby union anything you do can be a penalty. if i was at a game i would be so confused without the commentators explaining it.

I dont think the players do as they give away so many penalties.

Penalties are given for stupid things anyway like grabbing the wrong part of the body, they run that fast you can't tell where your grabbing anyway!

Hope England win in the final, but they'll be relying on Wilkenson to get the penalties and conversions

The rules are here but there's no mention of what penalties are given for.

I know you get a penalty against you if you get brought down and you hold on to the ball and i think you get a penalty against you for commiting a dangeroud tackle (surely all tackles are dangerous if you jump on someone)

I think the rules are a lot more detailed but this is more or less why... i think

I'm not really into rugby but I will definitely be spending some of my time off over the next few days looking for one of the 10,000 pubs that have applied for an early license.

There's a few in Sheffield, but after a Friday night out I'm sure I'm not going to fancy the pub at 9am.

the bbc has rules too but there are so many things for giving away a penalty you would have to buy the rule book.
