Professional Rugby Union is a team sport played between two teams of fifteen players each. The game is played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. Players aim to score points by carrying, passing, or kicking the ball to the opposing team's end zone, where they can score a try or a goal. The sport is governed by the World Rugby organization, which sets the rules and regulations. Matches are typically divided into two halves of 40 minutes each, with a halftime break. Professional leagues exist in various countries, including the English Premiership and Super Rugby, showcasing top talent and competitive play.
