Rugby: Physicality, Strategy, and Global Tradition
Welcome to the definitive source for Rugby, the high-contact global sport known for its continuous flow of play, intense physicality, and unique competitive structure. Rugby demands a rare combination of raw power, tactical intelligence, and exceptional fitness from all players. This category covers everything from the foundational tackling techniques to the global strategies used in the World Cup.
Rugby is structured around the two core competitive elements that define the sport:
Contact & Set Pieces: This section focuses on the unique, high-physicality aspects of Rugby. Learn the specific rules and techniques for the major restart formations: the Scrum, Lineout, and Ruck/Maul. We cover forward pack strategy, effective tackling technique, and the immense conditioning required for this aspect of the game.
Running Play & Variants: This discipline explores the open-field strategy and flow of the game. Master the art of the lateral pass, running lines, and the specialized roles of the backline. We provide guides and rules for the two major forms—Rugby Union and Rugby League—as well as the high-speed, Olympic-recognized Rugby Sevens variant.
