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 the ball over the opponent’s goal line or kicking it between the goalposts. Rugby is characterized by its physicality, as players can tackle opponents to gain possession of the ball. There are various forms of rugby, with Rugby Union and Rugby League being the two most prominent. Rugby Union features 15 players on each team and includes complex set pieces such as scrums and lineouts, while Rugby League has 13 players and emphasizes continuous play and fewer stoppages. The sport is governed by specific rules known as the Laws of the Game, and it has gained immense popularity worldwide, with numerous professional leagues and international competitions, such as the Rugby World Cup. Rugby emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship, and it is known for its strong community and cultural significance in many countries.
