Rugby

Rugby-
Rugby is a fast, moving and exciting game. It consists of 15 players on each team and the goal is to score more points then the other team. The game starts off with a kickoff that is done by dropping the ball as you kick it. To score you can do it by: Scoring a try (worth 5) and the Conversion kick (worth 2), or on a penalty kick (worth 3). To move the ball you only can pass it backwards, if you pass it forward or drop forward it is called a Knock-on. This results in a scrum which when the forwards bind together and battle for the ball which is passed in by the Scrumhalf. You can also kick forward. It is a physical game with a lot of tackling and a battle for the ball on each tackle which is called rucking. It is not only played by men but also women.
