Rugby

Talk about the rugby, I thought about an old film , the chief actor, crazy, is an American football player.As we all know, American football and rugby are look similar. For starters, both sports are played on a field that is roughly 120 yards (110 meters) long and 54-60 yards (51-55 meters) wide, with the rugby field being slightly wider. Across the field, there are lines painted to indicate the different zones. These lines are about ten yards apart from each other. In American football, there is a line to mark the goal zone, which starts near the goal posts. In rugby, this is called the "try-line." In rugby, the scoring zone ends at the goal posts. If the player goes beyond, the ball is out. The goal posts are similar in both sports and consist of two vertical posts with a crossbar connecting them. Rugby league teams consist of 13 players who both attack and defend at any given time; American football teams have 11 players with very specific roles. The difference between both sports is in the scoring. Rugby league players must touch the ball to the field, called a "try," to score (four points), while players of American football can simply cross the end-zone line to get a "touchdown" (six points). Kicks over the goal posts are awarded after a touchdown or try in both sports, but they are worth double in rugby. Also, because touchdowns are so difficult to achieve, players of American football often try to score a field goal rather than risk losing the ball to the opponents. In rugby, however, a field goal, or "dropped goal," is only worth one point, so most teams cannot afford to spend time on trying to score one.
