Rugby Union

Description

Rugby union, a full contact team sport, is a form of football which originated in England in the early 19th century. Rugby union football is played between two teams, each of which starts the match with 15 players on the field. Players run with the ball in hand and play with an oval-shaped ball, outdoors on a level field. Points are scored by a "try" - touching the ball to ground after crossing the opponent's touchline.
