The game of rugby is often criticised for having overly complicated rules.

Charlie Brooker, a British writer for The Guardian newspaper in the UK, says it is "just incoherent; way too chaotic to follow."

"Half the time the action resembles some kind of scrum. And the ball doesn't even bounce properly. Also: are they supposed to be fighting each other or not? Literally no one involved seems to know."

    "Yes too many rules. Rugby has become a slow and sometimes tedious game to watch, especially the big games with the top teams."

    "It may not be the rules, but the deliberate coaching and training of players to try to break the rules, that is the problem."
