In rugby, all players are allowed to handle the ball, but the ball cannot be passed forward. The ball can be kicked forward in an attempt to gain better field position or to catch the other team unaware. Also, there is no blocking allowed in rugby. It is mostly played by memebers of the upper and middle classes. "Football is a gentleman's game played by ruffians and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen."
