RUGBY

Rugby is a team sport where two teams try to score more points than each other by carrying, passing, and kicking an oval-shaped ball. In rugby union, the most common form: 🏉 Each team has 15 players. Players can run forward with the ball, but passes with the hands must generally go sideways or backwards. You score a try by grounding the ball in the opponent’s in-goal area. You can also score with kicks, such as conversions, penalties, and drop goals. Players can tackle opponents who have the ball, making rugby a physical contact sport. A standard match lasts 80 minutes. There is also rugby league, which has 13 players per team and somewhat different rules.
