Scary rules comparison

[Mark Padgett]

You guys think sometimes basketball rules are confusing? Here's a line I found on the rugby forum:

"Saw lots of great rugby and some interesting non-calls by refs. For example, "not in straights" on line-outs were almost never called at all levels of play, similarly, I didn't see too many "hands in" in rucks called."

Next time someone criticizes the rule book, just count your blessings you don't have to put up with that stuff.

BTW - does anyone know if the rugby rulebook is written in metric?
