Before you dive into Major League Rugby action, Chicago Hounds General Manager and CEO James English breaks down some of the key rules of the game.

Scrum: The scrum is a competitive way of resetting the game. It's usually eight per side - eight forwards from each side - that push together to see who wins the ball.
Lineout: A means of restarting play after the ball falls out of the field of play (touchline). Forwards assemble in a line on each side where one team's hooker throws the ball straight in the middle. Each team uses various formations to lift players up, retrieve the ball and put it back in play. Which team's hooker throws the ball into the lineout is circumstantial.
Scoring: There are three ways to score in rugby. A "try", which is the rugby version of an American football touchdown is worth five points, but the ball must be placed on the ground for points to be awarded. Afterwards, there is a conversion worth two points, similar to the extra point kick in American football. Finally, there is a phase play drop goal, or penalty worth three points.
Penalties: A penalty is when any team creates an offense. Within that, a team gets to either kick for touch or go for three points. Penalties are conceded normally around the breakdown, or when offside, and also when committing foul play.
Contact: Rugby is a contact sport. Players tackle safely with their shoulders, wrapping their opponent's legs to take the ball carrier to the ground. It forms a ruck, which is how the game goes through phases of possession and play.

RB Nyheim Hines reportedly signing with Chargers, 2 seasons after injury from jet-ski collision threatened to end his career
Nyheim Hines is back in the NFL Two years after a jet-ski collision left him with a torn ACL and threatened to end his football career, Hines has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Terms of the deal weren't initially reported. But Hines is back in an NFL training camp after a two-season absence from playing football. Hines joins a Chargers backfield that features first-round rookie Omarion Hampton and former Steelers Pro Bowler Najee Harris. Hines projects as a third-down back and pass catcher out of the backfield who can also return kicks if he ultimately makes the 53-man roster. Hines, 28, last played for the Buffalo Bills in 2022. The Bills traded for Hines midseason that year in a deal that sent running back Zack Moss to the Indianapolis Colts. The first-place Bills added Hines as a change-of-pace weapon to a backfield that already featured James Cook and Devin Singletary. A third-down back with more career receiving yards (1,778) than rushing yards (1,202), Hines played sparingly in Buffalo's offense in nine games for the remainder of the season. He was a force on special teams and returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in a single game in a season-finale win over the New England Patriots. Jet-ski collision threatened Hines' career Hines was expected to take on a larger role for the Bills in 2023 in his first full season after Singletary left for the Houston Texans in free agency. But the offseason jet-ski collision sidelined him for the entire season. Just before training camp in 2023, Hines was sitting stationary on a jet ski when another rider on a jet ski collided with him, according to the Associated Press. The collision left Hines with a torn ACL in his left knee. He spent the entire 2023 season on injured reserve. Hines then signed with the Cleveland Browns prior to the 2024 season, but was never elevated to the active roster while still recovering from the injury. The Browns released him in February. Hines worked out for the Chargers on Monday and impressed them enough to earn a contract. He'll join a run-focused offense led by offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who previously oversaw the Baltimore Ravens' run-heavy attack before joining the Chargers last season. A fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Colts, Hines played his first 3 1/2 NFL seasons for Indianapolis.

‘Knee cooked': Kyrgios blow before major return
Nick Kyrgios took a big step towards a potential US Open return after getting through his first ATP match since March with a doubles defeat at the DC Open, but a singles return remains some time off after a knee 'niggle'. The former Wimbledon finalist has entered the reimagined doubles at next month's US Open where he'll team up with Naomi Osaka should his progression continue uninterrupted by any more injuries. It was only the sixth match of the year for Kyrgios, with the rabid basketball fan playing in front of NBA star Kevin Durant, having endured a horror run of injuries that included significant wrist surgery in 2023. Kyrgios, 30, tried to play doubles at the Australian Open in January but was forced to retire in his opening match and has been sporadic in his playing ever since. But he's part of the crew of stars set to take part in the US Open doubles, with his protected ranking of 21 enough to get him on the official entry list for the final grand slam tournament of the year in New York. There won't, however, be any singles in his immediate future as he continues to battle his body. 'I wanted to play singles, but six weeks ago I had a bit of a niggle with my knee,' he said. 'So it's just going to take a bit more time.' Kyrgios teamed up with Frenchman Gael Monfils at the DC Open but went down in two sets to third seeds Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Hugo Nys after which he gave an update on his knee. 'Knee cooked but fans still f**ked with us,' he posted on Instagram. Fellow Aussie Alex de Minaur has entered the singles at the DC Open looking to put his Wimbledon disappointment behind him, start his US Open preparations and rebuild his own ranking having fallen to 13. 'Going into the tail end of the year, I'm excited for the opportunity and hoping I can play good tennis and take care of my chances,' he told 'I've got the experience now. I've got the knowledge, the physicality side of things. Everything is just there for me to go out and perform. 'I can really have a swing these next three or four years and really show that I'm at my peak and break through some barriers. 'I'm ready to go deep into tournaments. It's just up to myself to put those results right.'

Athletics rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke headed to injured list with adductor strain
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Athletics rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke is headed to the injured list after an MRI on Monday revealed an adductor strain. Manager Mark Kotsay said before Monday night's game that a roster move would be announced Tuesday. He said the A's weren't able to get another player in place in time for the series opener at Texas, where Clarke got his scan that showed the grade two strain. Kotsay said he didn't have a timeline for Clarke's return, but that it was probably going to be a couple of weeks. Clarke exited the A's loss at Cleveland on Sunday with what was reported as right hip discomfort. The 25-year-old Canadian has hit .230 through his first 47 big league games, but hit .333 (14 of 42) with six doubles, two triples and a home run his past 12 games before getting hurt. 'Really unfortunate timing for Denzel," Kotsay said. 'I think his confidence offensively was continuing to build, the at-bats were just getting better and better.' Lawrence Butler was the starting center fielder in the opener against the Rangers. He made 89 of his first 90 starts in right field, with the other start also being in center. Miguel Andujar was in right field. ___ AP MLB:
