Rugby is a team sport between 15 players. The goal is to score goals, which is similar in nature to American football. In rugby, the goal is to kick the ball forward and not backward. The field must be flat and even. Typical fields are 100 metres long and 68 to 70 metres wide. A pair of cleats is required, as well as a gum shield, shirt, and shorts.
The game can be divided into two halves. Each half lasts forty minutes. After scoring a goal, the team can attempt a kick through the posts and score a penalty. Certain areas of the playing field have their own rules. These include "in-goal" areas, which are bounded on the two parallel sides.
Three points are awarded for kicking the ball through the posts. A drop goal, which is a scoring attempt by a ruck, usually earns one point. The conversion is worth two points. A penalty try can be given depending on how the team performs.
Before the game gets underway, all players must mark their respective try areas. This is to ensure that all players know exactly where the ball should fall. To stop or block an opponent, players can also use their bodies. To stop the opponent, a player on either side of the ruck may push down on it with his feet. To retrieve the ball, another player can jump in the air.
Typically, a rugby match is divided into ten minute periods for rest. Instead of the traditional 2- to 7-man lineout, teams can begin with a quick throw. If the team has the advantage, they can rush into the opposing territory to grab it.
Players have roughly one minute to kick the ball once it is thrown. The ball should travel at minimum five meters before it lands on the ground. Kicks can be used to shock defenses and help the team get out of trouble. One common variant forbids kicks after the fifth touch.
Players must not allow their head to touch the ground below their hips. Players must stand behind the hindmost foot of any breakdown. Any player who dives over the ruck is penalized.
The scrum involves the pushing together of the largest players. These rucks are won overwhelmingly by the forwards. They are also stronger physically.
Line outs are another key part of the rugby game. A line out can be earned by pushing into the huddle of the opposing team. The scrum leader is usually the last person in the huddle. The scrum has two options: they can kick the touch ball for the touch or run it. There are two options: a penalty or a spot kick.
The defending team will usually receive a penalty try if they break a rule. If they break a rule, the attacking team can be penalized with a penalty try, a conversion, or a place kick.
