Mens Rugby Union
Mens Rugby Union refers to a full-contact team sport played by two teams of fifteen players each, primarily involving running with the ball in hand and passing it backwards, with the ultimate goal of scoring points by grounding the ball over the opponent's try line. The game is known for its physicality, strategic gameplay, and emphasis on teamwork, skill, and endurance. Matches are played on a rectangular field with H-shaped goalposts at each end, and players wear protective gear such as mouthguards, headgear, and shoulder pads. Rugby Union is governed by World Rugby, with international competitions such as the Rugby World Cup showcasing the highest level of competition in the sport.
