Rugby for Beginners

Rugby Union is a sport played by two teams of fifteen players and six substitutes controlled by a referee and two touch judges.  It is played in two 40 minute halves.  This article is aimed at giving a very basic introduction to the game of Rugby Union.  All photos are courtesy of Getty Images.

"Old fashioned traditions and virtues they may be, but they have stood the test of time and, at all levels at which the game is played, they remain as important to Rugby’s future as they have been throughout its long and distinguished past."
