A rugby field is rectangular in shape. It is 120x70m in size, with two 10 meter lines and one half-way line. These lines mark the center of each playing area. There are goal posts, and a crossbar that stands at least 3.4 meters above the ground. The goal posts are 20 meters long. These posts are often made of metal and wood. They can be bent to help the ball stay in place when it's kicked into the air.
To play rugby, there must be two teams. Each team must have at least fifteen players. The ball must be passed or run by each team when it is handed to them. Sometimes, players may kick the ball through the goalposts. If a player tries to kick the ball through the goalposts, he or she is considered to have taken a penalty.
A player must touch or touch the ball within the in-goal zone of his opponent in order to score the try. A try is worth three points to the home team. To score a touchdown, the opposing side must have the ball within its 25 yard line. After a successful try, the game restarts at the halfway line.
The field of rugby is divided into two sections: one is the field of play, and the other is the in-goal zone. The try line is the vertical line that runs through the middle of the field. At each end of field are goalposts. Goalposts are positioned 10 meters from the try line. The goalposts are 3.4 meters high.
Rugby fields are divided into five zones: the in-goal area, the dead ball line, the halfway line, the goal line, and the sideline. These five zones range in size from 5.5 to 24 yards across. It can measure 6-22 meters depending on the size of its in-goal zone.
The kick that passes through the goalposts is not considered a point. However, the team has the option to restart the game. A scrum can also be held in the middle. The non-offending team has the chance to have their players stand over the ball and protect it. This allows teammates the opportunity to push the newly formed maul in any direction they choose.
There are several penalties for rugby. A knock-on is one such penalty. A player will often be tackled and knock on the ball. If the ball is accidentally knocked onto, the offending team member will be penalized.
A forward pass is another common foul. A forward pass is not an accidental pass like a knock-on. If the ball is in the possession of the carrier, the ball can be run forward to ensure that a player holds onto it. Afterwards, the player must release the ball.
Other fouls include: offside; too far forward; and ball in contact the body. All of these could result in a free kick.
Each half of rugby matches lasts 40 minutes. Points are awarded to home teams that lead after both halves. The match will end with a dead ball.
