What is rugby?

Are you ready to learn about one of the greatest and most exciting games in the world? Let us introduce you to the thrilling game of rugby union!

Rugby union is a fast-paced, full-body contact sport that requires strength, agility and skill to play. It is a team game that was first developed in England during the 19th century, and has since spread to countries all around the world.

The objective of the game is to score more points than the opposing team. A team consists of 15 players, with eight substitutes, and the match consists of two halves of 40 minutes each.

The players can move the ball upfield by running with it, kicking it or passing it backwards to another teammate. If a player carrying the ball is tackled, then the opposing team can try and get possession of the ball by grabing it from the tackle player. The team that has the ball can score points by getting the ball over the other team's tryline, which is located at the end of the pitch.

In addition to these points, penalties and drop goals can also be scored. Penalties are awarded for offences committed by players, whereas drop goals are kicked from open play.

Rugby union is a game that rewards courage, skill, and determination, and requires teamwork, communication, and a strong understanding of the rules: This makes rugby a very intense and entertaining game for players and spectators too.

So grab your mates and get ready for some serious fun! Rugby union is an exciting and action-packed game that will have you on the edge of your seat.
