[@interestedbystander196]

@@christopherkennedy4055 No doubt a lion would beat a mongoose in a straight fight. One is ten times the size and strength of the other. My point, and it applies to Cheslin Kolbe, is that a mongoose is very quick and agile, so a lion wouldn't have much chance of _catching_ a mongoose. Therefore, not much chance of us seeing a fight between them. Did you know that a mongoose eats cobras, among other things? It is so quick and agile that it can jump out of the way of a cobra strike.

[@luanperold2394]

Ok so in the beginning of the game there is a kick off which is a Drop Kick. If the ball goes direct out the opponent has a choice to take a scrum in the middle of the field or they can Kick off to you. If the ball does not go out direct you can keep playing. A scrum is a penalty if you knock the ball on which means you drop the ball forward. If the ball is in your 20 m line you may kick the ball direct out. If the ball is outside your 20 m line there is a lineout from where you kicked the ball. A lineout is when all the forwards are in a line which means all the people in the scrum are in the line. The the ball gets thrown in but if you trow skew it is a penalty. A try is worth 5 points. A conversion is worth 2. A penalty conversion is worth 3. So that is the basics of rugby
