Rugby
Rugby is a physically demanding sport played between two teams on a field that is similar in size to a soccer field. Teams score points by carrying or kicking the ball towards the opposing team's goal line where points are scored by grounding the ball—called a try. Meanwhile, opponents attempt to disrupt the advancement of the ball by tackling and grappling opposing players—participants do not wear any pads or gear.
