Hi everybody, iam new to playing rugby and I love it!
Iam just a little confused about something and would like someone to help me out.
I keep hearing of right guard and left guard after a tackle has been made! Plus I see alot of players raising 1 arm after making a tackle? Iam struggling a bit with the rules but I do love the game
Guards are always either side of the center, they are marked as a G in this team layout below...

With regards to raising one arm after making a tackle, it can be for a number of reasons, either to show that you need defense after making a tackle, or as a symbol that you didn't foul the player you tackled. There is no real rule that surrounds this.
