Rugby

Rugby is a team sport that originated in England and is played with an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field. The game is characterized by its physicality and continuous play, where two teams compete to score points by carrying, passing, or kicking the ball to touch it down in the opponent’s in-goal area or by kicking it through their goalposts. There are various formats of rugby, with the two most prominent being Rugby Union and Rugby League, each having its own rules and team configurations. Rugby emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and athleticism, with a strong culture of sportsmanship and respect among players. The sport is governed by World Rugby, which lays out the rules and standards for international play. Rugby has a significant following worldwide and is noted for its inclusive nature, offering opportunities for players of various skill levels to participate.
