Basic Rules of Rugby
The Object of the Game is that two teams
of fifteen players each, observing fair
play according a sporting spirit, should
by carrying, passing, kicking and grounding
the ball score as many points as possible,
the team scoring the greater number of
points to be the winner of the match. The
wide variation of skills and physical requirements
needed for the game mean that there is
an opportunity for individuals of every
shape, size and ability to participate.
Because there are different variations
of the game - 15-a-side, 10-a-side, 7-a-side,
Tag rugby (non-contact), Touch rugby (non-contact)
- there is a game to suit everyone.
