Rugby 101: TL:DR

TL;DR Version — For the Curious Scroll-By Crowd

What is Rugby?
A fast-paced, full-contact sport that combines the strategy of football, the flow of soccer, and the toughness of… well, rugby. Two teams, 15 players each, and no forward passing allowed!

How to Score:

  • 🏉 Try = 5 points (Physically touch ball down in opponent’s in-goal)

  • 🎯 Conversion (always after a try) = 2 points

  • 🦵 Penalty Kick or Drop Goal = 3 points

Key Positions:

  • Forwards (1–8): Big, strong, handle scrums and rucks.

  • Backs (9–15): Fast, agile, handle passing and scoring.

Watch Like a Pro:

  • See a player sprinting? They’re likely a back.

  • A pile of bodies on the ground? That’s a ruck!

  • A line of players jumping for the ball? That’s a lineout.

No pads, no helmets — just respect, sportsmanship, and serious hustle.
