PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
toby fricker
Toby Fricker is the newest arrival to the Free Jacks roster. Toby is one of the biggest signings in club history, not only has he got Premiership experience, but Toby has also been listed on the USA Eagles team sheet.
Shortly after a stint at Dragons RFC, Fricker signed and debuted with Bristol during the 2019 Premiership Rugby Cup and scored his first points for the club in the European Challenge Cup versus Italy’s Zebre Parma. The 28-year-old remained a staunch facet of the Bears’ attack until he returned to Wales to play for Ospreys, the Swansea-based United Rugby Championship side.
Over four seasons, Fricker played 1,879 minutes for Bristol and recorded 60 points. During the 2021/22 English Premiership campaign, the London-raised, US & Welsh-qualified winger started in 10 rounds for the Bears and dotted down eight tries. Fricker scored the game-winning, bonus-point brace in a close match versus a tough Gloucester side featuring current Kansas City Chiefs’ running back and former Wales international, Louis Rees-Zammit.
Earlier this month, Head Coach Scott Lawrence named Fricker to the USA Men’s Eagles’ Extended Player Squad … Read More
rugby 101
Rugby is a full-contact, free flowing sport. The game is made up of two 40-minute halves. A team wins by moving forward and scoring more points than the other team. Watch the video and check out the terms below.
There are 15 players on the pitch; 8 forwards and 7 backs. The number on the back of your jersey indicates your position.
- Tight head prop
- Hooker
- Loose head prop
- Second row
- Second row
- Blind side flanker
- Open side flanker
- Number 8
- Scrum-Half
- Fly-Half
- Left Wing
- Inside Center
- Outside Center
- Right Wing
- Full Back
MOVE FORWARD PASS BACK
In order to make your way down the field, the ball must be passed either sideways or backwards. The ball can only move forward if kicked or carried by a player.
NO PADS?!
Unlike American football, rugby players do not wear pads. This actually makes the game safer as it encourages proper tackle technique with arms and shoulders and not heads. Any contact to the head will be penalized with either a penalty, yellow or red card.
HOW TO SCORE POINTS
Players score by either physically touching the ball down in the “Try zone”, or scoring a penalty kick off of the other team’s infringement.
TRY
The main objective of the game; to touch the ball down in the opponent’s end-zone (Try-zone) area for a score worth 5 points. The ball must be touched down to the ground under control for the score to count!
CONVERSION
After scoring a try, a team will kick for an additional 2-points from the line that the try was touched down.
SCRUM
Used to restart play after a technical infringement. All 8 forwards join to compete for the ball.
LINEOUT
Used to restart play after the ball goes out of bounds. Forwards assemble in a straight line across from each other, where one team’s Hooker throws the ball down the middle. Each team uses various formations to lift players and compete for the ball.
KNOCK-ON
An infringement when a player loses, drops, or knocks the ball forward from their hands, resulting in a scrum to the other team.
