Rugby Union

Rugby Union is a competitive game that requires skill, strength and agility.

If you didn't no every four years tournaments are held. Such as British and Irish lions and the RWC. The New Zealand All Blacks have won twice with the following teams South Africa and Australia England have only won once defeating Australia 20-17 by a famous drop goal by famous fly half Johnny Wilkinson in an overtime thriller.

Rugby all began by a guy named William Web Ellis. Legend has it that he was playing Soccer with a group of friends and picked up the ball and kicked it out on the full for no reason. Rules for Rugby a simple. If you drop the ball it leads to a simple knock on letting the other team pack a scrum and possibly scoring a try. Or entering the ruck incorrectly can to a kick to touch. If your in your own half. Or if your in the opponents half you can penalty kick for the 3 points.

Point scores for Rugby a simple if you get a try you will get 5 points. Drop goal will give you 3 points so will penalty conversion as well. Conversions will just give you 2 points after scoring the try. The TMOS replay happens in which the refs are  confused if its a try or not. They also have sideline refs to help the main ref decide if the player went out or not and also The New Zealand All Blacks a currently the best team in the world.

I think Rugby is an awesome sport sport and should be a popular sport around the globe. Because thats how awesome Rugby is.
