Rugby 101

New to the sport, or need a quick refresh about the basics of rugby? From positions to point systems, we’ve got you covered with Rugby 101!

Today, rugby is seen as a melting pot of North American sports we all love.

Take the physicality of football, but leave out the pads, helmets and the constant stoppage of gameplay.

Take the flowing grace of soccer, but add in the sheer power needed to drive the ball across the pitch.

Take the constant ball exchange of basketball, but add multiple ways to score points.

Take the intensity of hockey, but add mutual respect amongst all players and refs.

To sum it all up, Winston Churchill once famously said “Rugby is a hooligans’ game played by gentlemen.“
