Rugby is extremely popular in Great Britain and its former dominions: New Zealand, Australia, South Africa. But in recent years, it has been gaining momentum in the countries of the Old World and even in such states as Georgia and Japan.
To earn a point in rugby, you need to move the ball behind the opponent's goal line and the dead ball line. A goal is scored if you press the ball with any part of the body behind the line.
The rugby uniform kit includes a T-shirt (jersey), shorts, compression boxers, socks and cleats.
Rugby is similar to American football. The type of game is almost the same, not many different equipment.
Officially, the history of rugby began in 1823, when, according to legend, an English college student William Webb Ellis broke the rules during a football match, picked up the ball and ran with it.
The most prestigious European rugby tournament is the European Champions Cup, which brings together the strongest teams in Europe.
