Rugby Football is a team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is played with an oval ball on a rectangular field, where two teams of 15 players each (in Rugby Union) or 13 players each (in Rugby League) compete to score points by carrying, passing, or kicking the ball over the opponent's goal line. The game is known for its physicality and requires a combination of strength, speed, and strategy. Players can tackle opponents to gain possession of the ball, and matches are divided into two halves, each lasting 40 minutes. Scoring can be achieved through tries, conversions, and penalty kicks.
