Rugby: everything in one place

Contact, teamwork and shared effort on the pitch. A whole-platform hub assembled from 12 sections of existing, cross-linked knowledge — skills, rules, equipment, science, calculators, comparisons, diagrams, learning and research.

Overview

Rugby is a team sport in which two sides compete to move an oval ball toward the opponent’s line and ground it to score, while also kicking at the posts for additional points. Players carry and pass the ball backward and contest possession through tackling, rucks and set plays.

It is played in several formats, from full-contact games to lower-contact touch and tag variants, so there is a version to suit most levels. The full-contact game rewards teamwork and communication as much as strength, while the reduced-contact formats offer a friendly, accessible way in.
