Rugby is a team sport that involves two teams competing to carry, kick, or pass an oval-shaped ball to score points by grounding the ball in the opponent’s in-goal area (try) or kicking it through the opponent’s goalposts (conversion or penalty). The game is characterized by its distinctive physicality, requiring players to tackle opponents, ruck for possession, and engage in scrums to restart play after minor infractions. Rugby originated in England in the early 19th century and has since evolved into various formats, including Rugby Union and Rugby League, each with its own rules and style of play. Rugby Union is played with 15 players per team, while Rugby League features 13 players. The sport is governed by the World Rugby organization and has a significant global following, with major events like the Rugby World Cup celebrated as premier tournaments. Rugby emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship, and is renowned for its traditions and rituals.
