A standard rugby union game lasts 80 minutes, split into two halves of 40 minutes each. There is usually a 10 to 15-minute halftime break between the halves. The clock in rugby typically stops during injuries, substitutions, or video referee checks, so the actual event duration can be around 90 to 110 minutes including all stoppages and breaks. Play does not end exactly at 80 minutes but continues until the ball goes out of play after that time.
