Laws Rugby California adheres to the core International Rugby Board (IRB) principles: A Sport For All The laws provide players of different physiques, skills, genders and ages with the opportunity to participate at their levels of ability in a controlled, competitive and enjoyable environment. It is incumbent upon all who play rugby to have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Laws of the game. Maintaining the Identity The laws ensure that rugby's distinctive features are maintained through scrums, line outs, mauls, rucks, kick offs and re-starts. Also the key features relating to contest and continuity - the backward pass, the offensive tackle. Enjoyment and Entertainment The laws provide the framework for a game that is both enjoyable to play and entertaining to watch. If, on occasions, these objectives appear to be incompatible, enjoyment and entertainment are enhanced by enabling the players to give full rein to their skills. To achieve the correct balance, the laws are constantly under review.
