But too much sport isn't always good for you. You should relax sometimes, too - it's healthier! Some of the rules of Rugby The rugby ball is oval, not round. There are 15 players in a team. A game lasts 80 minutes. Players can kick, carry or throw the ball (but they mustn't throw the ball forward). Players can tackle the player with the ball and bring him down. 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 player can put the bail on the ground behind the other team's goal-line. This is a 'try' (5 points). There are three types of goal: 1) After a team gets a try, a player from that team can kick the ball over the other team's goalposts for a 'conversion' (2 points).

  • 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.
