You can run with the ball, kick it and pass it, but passing forwards is not allowed. Rugby union is a contact sport, so you can tackle an opponent in order to get the ball. You must respect the rules. There is a referee and two touch judges (one on each side of the pitch), to decide how the rules should be applied during a game.
