Rugby is a team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is characterized by the objective of carrying or kicking a ball to score points by grounding it in the opponent’s goal area or kicking it through goalposts. Rugby is played with two teams, each consisting of 15 players in rugby union or 13 players in rugby league, with variations such as touch rugby and sevens rugby, featuring fewer players on each side.
The game is known for its physicality, requiring strength, speed, and strategic teamwork. Players can pass the ball laterally or backwards, but not forwards, and they can tackle opponents to regain possession. The sport has a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game, which govern how it is played, including regulations on scoring, tackling, and the conduct of players. Rugby is played professionally in many countries and is also a popular amateur sport. The Rugby World Cup, held every four years, is one of the sport’s premier international competitions. Overall, rugby emphasizes athleticism, cooperation, and respect among players.
