Rules are:
1. You can only pass backwards.
2. The defensive players are not allowed to go beyond the line of the ball.
3. Players can run with the ball and tackle.
4. If this game is spoilt by too many tackles, then change the rules to rugby league (the attacking team can have their attack broken down 6 times before having to give possession to the other side).
