‭Rugby is about two teams of fifteen or seven players each, practising fair play according‬
‭to the Laws and the spirit of sportsmanship, carrying, passing, kicking, and supporting‬
‭the ball, scoring as many points as possible. The team that scores the most points will be‬
‭the winner of the match.‬

‭Rules:‬

‭Rugby is a sport with rules established by World Rugby, the international federation‬
‭overseeing the game. Here is a summary of some basic rugby rules:‬

‭Objective of the game:‬‭Rugby aims to score more points‬‭than the opposing team. This‬
‭is achieved by carrying the ball beyond the opponent's goal line and scoring a "try" (5‬
‭points). After a try, the team has the opportunity to score additional points through a‬
‭conversion.‬

‭Teams:‬‭Each team consists of 15 players in the rugby‬‭union version (there is also a‬

‭variant called rugby league with slightly different rules).‬

‭Ball:‬‭The ball used in rugby is oval-shaped.‬

‭Game start:‬‭The game begins with a kick-off at the‬‭centre of the field. It also restarts‬
‭after each try.‬

‭Formations and scrum:‬‭The game restarts with a scrum‬‭when certain infractions occur‬
‭or when the ball goes out of bounds. In a scrum, players from both teams face off and‬
‭compete for possession of the ball.‬

‭Line-out:‬‭When the ball goes out of bounds, the game restarts with a line-out, where‬
‭players throw the ball at a right angle from the sideline.‬

‭Passing and forward play:‬‭Passes can only be made‬‭backward or laterally. A forward‬

‭pass is an infringement.‬

‭Tackles:‬‭Players can stop the opponent by tackling‬‭them. After a tackle, the game‬
‭continues with a ruck or a maul, depending on the situation.‬

‭Ruck and maul:‬‭A ruck occurs when the ball is on the‬‭ground, and players from both‬
‭teams compete for possession. A maul is similar, but players are standing and forming a‬
‭sort of wall around the ball.‬

‭Penalties and infringements:‬‭Various actions, such‬‭as dangerous tackles, obstruction,‬

‭high tackles, etc., are penalised. Penalties can lead to goal kicks, kicks to touch, or‬
‭scrums, depending on the situation.‬

‭Cards:‬‭Referees may show yellow or red cards as punishment for serious offences.‬

‭Objectives:‬

‭Learn the fundamental rules of rugby.‬

‭Move forward alone or in a group.‬
‭Oppose the advance individually or collectively.‬
‭Respect the opponent during sports games.‬
‭Understand the fundamental tactical aspects of rugby.‬
