Rugby is a team sport that can be played in different formats. It was developed in the 19th century by William Webb Ellis. Teams work to advance an oval ball down the field by passing it behind them or carrying it. Points are scored through tries, drop goals, and penalty kicks. Tackling is only allowed against the player carrying the ball.
