Rugby is a contact team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is played on a rectangular field with the objective of scoring points by grounding the ball in the opponent’s in-goal area or kicking it through their goalposts. The game features two teams, typically consisting of 15 players in rugby union and 13 players in rugby league, each with specific positions and roles.
Rugby is characterized by the use of an oval ball, and it allows players to carry, pass, and kick the ball. Players can be tackled to the ground, and the game includes various forms of play such as scrums, lineouts, and rucks to contest possession. Scoring can be achieved through tries, conversions, penalty kicks, and drop goals.
Rugby emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and physical fitness and has various formats, including full-contact rugby, touch rugby, and sevens rugby, which features seven players on each team and faster-paced play. The sport is governed by World Rugby, which oversees international competitions, including the Rugby World Cup. Rugby has a strong cultural presence in many countries, with passionate fan bases and a focus on sportsmanship and respect among players.
