Rugby in New Zealand









Rugby is a sort of football and has an influence of American Football, Canadian Football and Austrailian Football.

Rugby arose in the city Rugby and this sort of football established as a separate sort of football.
One of the first games that were played was the game between Scottland and England, which was the first international cap, in 1871.
Rugby is very popular in countries like New Zealand, Austrailia and England.
From 1900 to 1924 Rugby was a event of the Olympic Games and today there are many sorts of rugby.

Rules



The target is to bring the ball over the rival by run with the ball or kick it, so you can make points. And you can't pass the ball to a team mate who stands in front of you. To hinder the rival to make points you can tackle him. There are muich more rules, but I won't tell them all. :)
