Rugby

Rugby is a team sport that originates from England, characterized by two teams competing to carry, pass, or kick an oval-shaped ball to score points by grounding the ball in the opposing team’s in-goal area or by kicking it through their goalposts. The game is played on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, with specific rules governing gameplay, including tackles, scrums, and lineouts. Rugby has several variations, the most prominent being Rugby Union and Rugby League, each with its own rules and scoring systems. Rugby emphasizes teamwork, strategic play, and physicality, and it has a rich tradition and a global following, with organized competitions and international tournaments, such as the Rugby World Cup.
