The Rules of Rugby KS2 Topic: Sport Block E: History of Rugby Session 2 The rules of rugby What is the aim of the game? To use the ball to score more points than the other team. Each team has 15 players. You can run with the ball, kick it and pass it, but passing forwards is not allowed. Tackle an opponent to get the ball, as long as you stay within the rules. There is a referee, aided by two touch judges (one on each side of the pitch), to make sure players are sticking to the rules. How do you score points? A try - five points are awarded for touching the ball down in your opponent's goal area. A conversion - two points are added for a successful kick through the goalposts after a try. A goal kick - three points are awarded for a penalty kick or drop goal through the posts. If both teams score the same amount of points, or no points are scored, then the match is a draw. In some cases, extra time is played to decide who wins. How long does a match last? A game of rugby union has two periods of 40 minutes each. In international matches the referee will stop the clock for stoppages. Between the two halves, there is a maximum 10-minute interval, after which both teams change ends. The referee's whistle indicates the start and finish of the half. Extra time will only be played if it's a knockout competition. What is kick-off? Before the start of the match, the referee tosses a coin to decide which team will kick off the match. The captain of the team that wins the toss gets to decide which end he wants to attack first, or whether his side or the opposition will kick off. The game is started by a place kick or a drop kick from the middle of the halfway line. The ball must travel forwards at least 10 metres from the kick-off. If it does not, the opposition get the choice of a scrum or line-out on the halfway line, with the advantage of the feed or throw. If a penalty or drop goal is scored during the game, play is restarted with a drop kick from the halfway line. The team that has conceded the points takes the kick. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users. We refer you to our warning, at the foot of the block overview, about links to other websites. The difference between rugby league and rugby union Possession: The main difference in the two sports is that rugby league offers several chances to keep the ball. Upon gaining possession, a team is allowed to have any player holding the ball tackled five times before they must hand it over. This is in contrast to union, whereby the ball must be released immediately, resulting in some of the dog-piles you see during matches Players: Rugby league has only 13 players on each side, as opposed to 15 in union. It is because of this that league generally gets labelled as a quicker and more physically demanding sport. Scoring: The most obvious differences in scoring is that a try is worth five points in union and only four in league. A drop goal is worth three in union and one in league, while a penalty goal is worth three in union and two in league. How did this split come about? The split between the game of rugby league and rugby union (the two ‘codes’) came about in 19th century when players were banned from being paid for playing the sport. However, this was not always practical in northern industrial cities, where many of the players were required to work jobs on weekends. In 1892 rugby clubs in Bradford and Leeds faced accusations of professionalism for compensating some of their players for missing work, which led to clubs forming the Northern Rugby Football Union, later the Rugby Football League. This is why you will hear of towns like Castleford and Wakefield competing in Super League, yet no representation from London, Bristol or Birmingham.

We refer you to our warning, at the foot of the block overview, about links to other websites. How to make a Springbok origami rugby shirt At the 1995 Rugby World Cup, Nelson Mandela chose to wear the official shirt of the South African team, the Springboks. Up to that point, the Springboks shirt was a symbol of racism and prejudice. Mandela changed that by wearing it in front of the world at the Rugby World Cup in 1995. It changed racism in rugby and now everyone is included in the sport. Here’s how to make a Springbok’s shirt. As you do so, remember that it is now a symbol of inclusion and acceptance (and once it was the opposite) as well as the shirt of an internationally renowned rugby team. You will need thin white card or thick white paper and felt tips. Fold a square of white Unfold and fold again, Then fold each Fold the corners down on the top of the paper in half and run the other way (so you side of the folded paper. your finger along the have folded 4 squares paper in so crease. into the paper). they met in the middle. Turn it over and fold Fold over the corners. Turn it over and fold the Tidy up your shirt by over the bottom of the corners down. folding the shoulders over paper, so that the edge a bit to make a better shirt is about a centimetre shape. below the rest of the paper. Now you are ready to decorate your shirt in the Springbok colours. If you have time, make another shirt and research the shirt colour for other rugby teams. Here’s a shirt to decorate if you don’t want to do an origami one..

    “I had an idea about getting the team all in the same coloured socks, with the stripes of our college. Try as I might, I couldn’t find the most simple pair of purple and yellow socks anywhere. Instead, I got a sock knitting machine and crafted 5 pairs of unique socks for the team. These got a lot of attention by the river and I was being asked by other teams to make them up in other colours too. This is where I thought that if I were to make socks in all the different college colours, then not only rowers need get them but other sports teams too. It wasn’t long until the word spread and in just one week I had made around 600 pairs of socks. When orders were in for socks, I would spend all night crafting them, and would even hand deliver if they lived on campus. I really enjoyed what I was doing. It seemed so fun, so simple and everybody loved them. The bare bones of what I love about Rupert and Buckley is the strong combination of contemporary designs, common-sense styling and then a whisper of charm over each garment which makes it stand out amongst its peers. Pretty much exactly how the original pair of rowing socks did all those years ago amongst the other plain coloured socks that were currently being worn by the other teams.” James Buckley-Thorp, Founder MENS SPRING SUMMER 2018 COLLECTION The collection is built for purpose, comprised of easy care, high quality fabrics.

That player must then give up the ball. Another player can then take it. The man in white has tackled the one in black, so that player must give up the ball.

  • A M D G Beaumont Union Review Summer 2018
    A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW SUMMER 2018 Those of you who attended the lunch at St John‘s on Remembrance Sunday last year may recall, that in my words of thanks to the Headmaster and Staff, I said that we talk of this nebulous concept of the ―Spirit of Beaumont‖. I continued: ―Yet we have the living embodiment of that Spirit right here‖. Up until 1967 St John‘s was always considered part of Beaumont and its Old boys whether they continued to the College or not eligible for The Union. That year they were cast adrift and I think the feeling of the Committee was that it was now the Stonyhurst prep in the south of England and it would have a new allegiance. 50 years on and this is no longer the case. They wear our colours, harbour our traditions, sing the Carmen. They play cricket on our grounds and honour the dead at the War Memorial. It is long overdue to rectify the situation and bring the BU and the SJBOBA into closer alignment (sounds Brexit). In 1905, younger members of the Union founded the Beaumont Casuals whose activities were more in keeping with their generation. It lasted four years when the Club came to an end, yet it was written that ―the idea of younger members associating together for sports and social gatherings is a good one, and it is hoped that one day the Casuals will come to life again‖. I think that time has come. ANNOUNCEMENTS MUSEUM In February I met with Giles Delaney at St John’s and I know you will all be pleased to hear that our memorabilia will, where possible, soon go on display.

  • RUGBY GENERAL DESCRIPTION of the GAME Rugby Is Played at a Fast Pace, with Few Stoppages and Continuous Possession Changes
    RUGBY GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME Rugby is played at a fast pace, with few stoppages and continuous possession changes. All players on the field, regardless of position, must be able to run, pass, kick and catch the ball. Likewise, all players must also be able to tackle and defend, making each position both offensive and defensive in nature. There is no blocking of the opponents like in football. A rugby match consists of two 40-minute halves. FIELD OF PLAY Rugby is played on a field, called a pitch, that is longer and wider than a football field, more like a soccer field. A typical pitch is 100 meters (110 yards) long 70 meters (75 yards) wide. Additionally, there are 10-22 meter end zones, called the in-goal area, behind the goalposts. The goalposts are 'H'-shaped cross bars located on the goal line and are the same size as American football goalposts. THE BALL The rugby ball is made of leather or other similar synthetic material that is easy to grip and does not have laces. Rugby balls are made in varying sizes (3, 4 or 5) for both youth and adult players. Like footballs, rugby balls are oval in shape, however are rounder and less pointed than footballs to minimize the erratic bounces we see in football. PLAYERS & POSITIONS A rugby team has 15 players on the field of play, both American football and soccer have 11 players on each team. In rugby, each team is numbered the exact same way. The number of each player signifies that player's position.
