WHAT IS RUGBY?

Rugby is a fast-paced and versatile contact sport that is growing in popularity all the time, where teams try to get the game ball into the opponent's goal area. The ball is carried in the hands, and a pass to another player is allowed only backwards.

The sport also closely includes game events that contain contact, such as stopping a player carrying the ball by tackling, scrum starts and ruck situations.

The rugby team has many different playing positions, where  different types of characteristics are highlighted. The size of the rugby field is very close to the size of the football field.
