Rugby

Rugby is a team sport that originated in England, characterized by two teams competing to carry, pass, or kick an oval-shaped ball to score points by grounding the ball in the opponent’s in-goal area or kicking it between goalposts. The game is played on a rectangular field, and each team typically comprises 15 players in rugby union or 13 players in rugby league, with variations in rules and gameplay. The fundamental objectives include teamwork, strategy, and physical endurance, as players engage in running, tackling, and ball-handling skills to achieve scoring opportunities. Rugby has various forms, including union, league, sevens, and touch, each with unique rules and styles of play. It is known for its emphasis on sportsmanship, respect for opponents and officials, and a strong tradition of camaraderie among players and fans.
