RUGBY - THE 2nd MOST POPULAR SPORT IN THE WORLD
As the second largest sport in the world and the fastest growing sport in the US, Rugby remains a powerful platform that appeals to both international and domestic audiences. With the addition of Rugby to the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, the sport’s position worldwide will only continue to increase.
RUGBY 101
The game is played by 7 players on each side.
Games take place between two teams for a total of 7 minutes each way, with a 1minute half time break.
The scoring system: 5 points for a try (similar to an American football touchdown) 2 points for a conversion, and 3 points for both penalties and drop goals.
The difference is that all conversions must be taken within 40 seconds of the try being scored, and must be taken as a drop goal rather than a place kick.
