Rugby is a sport that is played with an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field called a pitch. The ball is carried and passed by players to score points by grounding the ball in the opponents in-goal area or kicking it over the opponents crossbar and between the uprights. The ball is not on a specific side of the field, but rather it is carried and passed by players on both teams throughout the game. The objective is to score more points than the opposing team by the end of the game.
