Rugby Union

In rugby union football, the objective is to run an oval ball into the opposing team’s goal area or to kick the ball through the uprights of the opposing team’s goal. In a rugby match, play rarely stops completely, and players may only advance the ball by running or kicking. They are not permitted to make forward passes. Rugby union is played by teams with 15 players, although there is also rugby sevens, a quicker game with seven players a side.
