Do you know how to play Rugby?

Rugby is a game played by two teams with an oval shaped ball which they can kick, pass or carry.

Rugby is a contact sport. The goalposts are on the rugby field because after they score a try, they have a conversion in which the try scoring team’s goal kicker has to kick the ball up the middle of the posts. In rugby there are two teams of eighteen and they have eight reserves and the teams both play for forty minutes each half.  

There are many rugby teams like Japan, Canada, France, Samoa, Tonga and New Zealand. All teams have to qualify for tournaments, they have to play a series of games to qualify. Rugby is important because it is an opportunity for people to play sports and get fit. It makes us get outside and enjoy the fresh air. If someone plays rugby well, they could be recognised in our history books. Rugby  is also very fun game that encourages people to be more active.
