How Rugby Works

Rugby is a fun outdoor game that is played by many people it is on a saturday morning or night. Rugby will get you moving and motivated in the mornings.

Rugby is a game that is played on a saturdays. You will have to have a lot of strategy to beat your opponents. The objective of the game is to score more try's than the other team. When you score a try you have earned your team 5 points then you covert the try with a kick each kick is worth 2 points. but if you get a penalty or a drop goal it is 3 points. 

Before you start the game you will warm up with your coach/s and do some sprints with press up in  between them and some squats. When you are about to tackle someone you have to remember 3 steps on your toes, head up and most important of all move into the tackle and make the tackle. When someone runs out or kicks it out there is a line out. In most grades from under 11 they contest in the line outs but they don't jump they just grab or hit the ball to the half-back. Then the he gets it to the first-five then it will get to the wing from the centre. And next there are the scrums.

When a player knocks the ball on we have a scrum. A scrum is when both teams fords  bind up, put there heads down and push in some grades from under 12 and up but they do everything you would do to prepare for next year. And the same happens again except that the half-back puts the ball in and gets it out to the backs. And if you get tackled you have to place the ball back for the half-back and I know what your thinking the half-back has a lot of jobs and he does but there easy.

Despite all the running and hard work and also getting muddy rugby is a fun outdoor game that will get you moving and motivated in the mornings.

  2. Teia I love how you have tied the beginning in with the end. Well done. You know lots about rugby; it all sounds too technical for me, so I will just enjoy watching you and cheering for your team on the sideline. Go go go my lil' future AB.
