Well what was confusing for you? Also did you watch League or Union? Very different playing styles and rules. League doesn't really ruck being the main difference.
I played 3 years in high school and 1 year in an adult league plus a few summers playing sevens

I'm guessing Union...i'm not really sure. dude in the pub was trying to explain the breakdown of it and it seemed to be a 2nd tier league IE not the Heineken cup?
I guess the things that really confuse me are why certain things happen, such as when a player gets tackled suddenly 5 guys from both teams are suddenly slammed up against each other scrum style. 90% of the time the team with the ball retains it but other times it gets stolen- how does that happen...i just kind of assumed that once tackled you retained the ball until a turnover/penalty/out of bounds etc.
One other thing that's been bugging me...to score a drop goal does the ball actually have to hit the ground or can it be punted football style? And why the frick does a penalty allow for a kick in to touch but the kicking team takes the lineout...?

They don't do much league in Ireland, so I assume Union...
Known ruggers (whether active or not) on the MSB are me, busbeepbeep, Swagga, and lowerbamatrojan.
There are a few other posters who've been following the sport online and via Fox Soccer Plus.
