Rugby
A Brief Overview:

Rugby is a kicking, passing, and tackling game that originated in England. Because blocking and interference are illegal, no heavy padding is required, and a uniform consists of shorts, jersey, and cleated boots.

Play starts with a kickoff, and the aim of each team is to carry the ball across the opponent's goal line or kick the ball over the crossbar of the goalposts centered on each goal line.

Players advance the ball by running with the ball, passing it, or kicking it. Forward passes are not permitted, and passes are made behind the ball-carrier using a two-handed underarm motion.

Play is continuous except when interrupted for a rule infraction or when the ball is in "touch," that is, goes out of bounds. When the ball goes out of bounds it is returned to play in a "line-out" in which the 8 forwards from each team form two parallel lines about 0.6 m (2 ft) apart.

A player from the team opposing the one that last touched the ball tosses it between the two lines, and the teams then struggle for possession.
