Rugby Is a Great Contact Sport On and Offline

Rugby is one of the most popular contact sports in Europe. It is a sport that is mostly played by two teams that will try and get points by finding a way to get past their opposing team's goal line. The online version of rugby is played exactly the same way. The only difference is that you get to select your team name and in some cases other players to be on your team. In addition to passing the goal line, you can also score by kicking the ball and trying to get the ball to make its way through what is known as the opponent's uprights. The players of the game will also kick the ball while running from goal line to goal line. There are two different versions of the game. The first version involves the use of only 13 players. The second version has 15 players.

The sport itself is mostly played on a field of grass, and when playing the game online, the turf will look very realistic. The grass field that the players will play on will often be marked with white lines that signify specific points on the field. When the field is created for the sport, it will be done by using metric units that are 328.1ft from a goal. Inside each of the try-lines, you will find an in-goal area that will often have variances in depth. The depths of these try-lines are usually no more than 72.2ft for a union and 36.1 feet for a league. You will find H-shaped posts that are 18.4 ft. wide at each of the goal lines. The online versions use the same measurements in gaming perspective, to have the experience as realistic as possible.

The ball that is used to play the game is an oval shaped inflated ball that at one time was made from leather but now has turned into synthetic materials. A ball that is used during a union game is approximately 11.0 to around 11.8 inches long while at the same time being 22.8-24.4 inches in width. The weight of the ball is usually from 14.5 ounces to about 16.2ounces.

If rugby is your sport of choice and you feel as if you are not physically tough enough to take the strong hits that players will often take, then go online to play the game in the comfort of your home. Just like in a real world game, players that get involved with online versions will notice that shorts, long socks, and shirts will be a common part of the uniform. Keep in mind that when you decide to play there are three ways to score and that is a drop goal, conversion, a try, and also what is known as a penalty kick.
