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 into the opposing team’s in-goal area, or by kicking it through their goalposts. Rugby is characterized by physical contact and the use of both hands and feet, with players allowed to pass the ball backward to teammates while trying to advance toward the opponents’ end of the field. There are various forms of rugby, the two most notable being Rugby Union and Rugby League, each with its own set of rules and variations in gameplay. The sport emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and physical endurance, and it is governed internationally by World Rugby. Rugby matches can vary in duration, typically lasting 80 minutes, and are known for their spirited and competitive nature.
