Introduction to Rugby |
Home |
Rugby is once again growing popular in the United States but there is still very little information on the game. This site was designed to give a basic introduction to anyone interested in rugby. Each page briefly discusses certain aspects of the game and tries to give a good overview but does not cover everything about the game. Rugby is very flexible and changing so there may be information that may be true in certain parts of the world that do not correspond with what is here. This site should be ideal for someone who is thinking about playing and does not know much about the sport, a curious spectator or for those that need information for that speech due tomorrow. Either way, I hope that the information presented is helpful.
