Over the past few decades, the sport of rugby has grown tremendously in popularity. Rugby has specific rules (called “laws”) in place such as the ball cannot be passed forward and each team switches sides at the half. Rugby has 4 different ways to score points, and they are conversion kicks (2 points), dropped goals (3 points), penalty kicks (3 points), and tries (5 points). On the playing field, a rugby team can have 15 players at a time, and the jersey number is dictated by the position played. Like other sports, rugby has words specific to it, and popular rugby terminology include lineout, maul, ruck, and scrum. If you are looking for a new sports interest, consider taking up rugby.
