Types of Rugby

I'm a rugby fan, I think it's one of the most underrated sports in North America (along with lacrosse). But lately, I'd be watching Rugby on TV and I see games where there's no rucking or mauling, you get tackled and you're let up to roll the ball backwards with your foot. A scrum is like 3 guys per team. What the fuck is that shit! Rugby is supposed to have 30 men on the feild, not like 14 or 24 or whatever. My question is this: Is real rugby (15 aside) being over thrown by this shit that's all over television nowadays or is real rugby still King and always king?
