Fast game and lots of scoring.
Many of the rugby fans here call it aerial ping pong. With no off side rule means the field is spread and the ball can travel from one end to the other in no time.

Opposition players may bump or tackle the player to obtain the ball and, when tackled, the player must dispose of the ball cleanly or risk being penalised for holding the ball.

And coming from AFL background you'd understand why I dont like rugby coz hanging on the ball and having a 10 man pile on is just time wasting.
If you get a chance also watch Rugby League which is the Australian version of rugby. It to is a lot cleaner faster game than the traditional rugby.
