Rugby

         Explanation of Rugby       
Rugby was introduced in the 18 century from the school of rugby in England.It was played with a ball and 70 players threw the ball around and thats how it all stared.


A oval ball is what you need to play rugby with.You need 15 players on each side and most of all you need a referee to referee the game. The size of the field is 100m long.You need to tackle the person on the other side only if they have the ball.


There are club teams and provincial teams.There are super competition teams from all over the world.Then you can also play for your country.

My dream is to become a professional player that travel the world playing rugby and also be an All black.
