Some Rugby Rules and Terms simplified

What is a Scrum:

It is a way of restarting the game, either after an accidental
infringement or (in rugby league only) when the ball has gone out of
play. Scrums occur more often, and are of greater importance, in union
than in league (explain to us what is union and what is league)

What is a Ruck:

A play when the ball is on the ground and the players on both teams
pile on top of it to gain possession of it.
