Rugby

Rugby is a team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is played with an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field, with the objective of scoring points by carrying, passing, and kicking the ball to the opposing team’s in-goal area. The game is characterized by its physicality, requiring both strength and strategy, and involves a mix of running, tackling, and strategic ball movement. There are several variations of rugby, including Rugby Union and Rugby League, each with its own set of rules and scoring systems. Rugby is known for its strong emphasis on sportsmanship and camaraderie among players. It is played both professionally and recreationally worldwide and has a significant following in countries such as New Zealand, Australia, England, and South Africa.
