they use soccer cleats so a try in 5 points 3 points for a penalty kick gol idk how much points for a conversion (that's when you punt the ball through the uprights right?) And mb1 why do people always dive into the end zone mb1 do you have to do that?

Yeah that's the scoring system for Rugby Union and Sevens. The conversion after a try is worth two points. The diving is because you don't score until you put the ball down and the conversion kick is from the angle at which you scored, so that's why when no one's around, you'll see someone run the ball under the posts before scoring. If you want to follow the sports, I suggest starting off watching rugby sevens (short-field version of union) just to help you understand standard 15s union and/or rugby league better. This is an example of a Sevens game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd-_UlOeQv0 (Matches are usually shorter, lasting only 7 minutes per half, 10 is jsut for championship games. That being said, Sevens is usually one big event with a bunch of short games)

In fact, there's a sevens tournament this weekend; http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=140994103 (You don't have to wake up at 5 AM and/or watch the whole thing, most people on here just watch a few games, but I'm insane so I watch every second lmao.) I also mention sevens because; -zammy -BPP -death -donny -cap -danny -vikingsfan -nonrugs -anojan -iSS -muffin have all watched and enjoy the yearly HSBC 7s World Series which runs from October through May (USA has a team!!!)

Fiji is a Polynesian nation. Polynesian =/= Black

Also the participation of the white minority in rugby union is because rugby is (although it's not as bad as it used to be) seen as the "white sport" and soccer is popular with the poorer native black Africans in the country. But form what I hear talking to people, that's changing and more black SA athletes are able to play rugby without being discriminated against.

If you have anything else feel free to HMU. I live and breathe rugby (and Aussie rules during AFL season)
