Why don't they execute the read-option in rugby?

It seems like a no-brainer.

Rugby DEs are too smart to fall for that shite

Can they hand the ball off forward?

I'm not sure, but one would think a handoff is not highly regulated as to whether it is forwards or backwards.
ETA: In American football, as long as it is behind the line of scrimmage, a handoff can be forwards or backwards without counting as a forward pass.

I don't know much about rugby, but i feel like the advantages of the read option don't exist in a game where you don't like up and start individual plays with a snap.

In rugby, you don't have an O-line, since blocking is illegal. So everything is in clear sight of the defenders in front of you. Also, the D tends to form a line across the field, so a forward handoff is not likely to get a defender out of position. There are offensive moves that are designed to trick the D, but they mostly involve the next man running laterally behind the ball carrier.

They could get the ball in a 2 on 2 situation on the edge and run a read option and make it a one on one battle.
I think it could be effective.

Can't hand the ball off forward.
But I think I understand what you're trying to say. One of the first things that is taught to new players is how to draw your Defender before your pass. Making a 2 on 2 into a 1 on 1 or less. Looping after you pass and running switches (outside man cutting behind you) are two other common ways to create 2-on-1's
