RUGBY IS UNIQUE

Rugby is a full contact sport played by highly skilled and physically fit athletes

Players have little or no padding.  The tackling is hard and the mauls, rucks and scrums are equal parts strength and courage.

The ball is spun quickly and adeptly across the field until there is an opening for a ball carrier to exploit.

There aren’t a lot of play stoppages and no time outs except for injuries

Players have to run for most of the 80 minutes.  If you aren’t fit, you will be mostly useless and won’t have much fun.
** Rugby is also a sport with a strong heritage, important traditions and a unique culture.

There may be aggression on the field, but when the final whistle blows and the game is over, that aggression is left behind.  When the game is over, it’s over.  It’s time to move on.  It’s time to shake hands and offer congratulations.  We win with grace and lose with dignity.
In rugby, there is still a strong respect for both opponents and game officials. Perhaps because everyone understands how hard it is to play this sport, respect has endured.

The sport has one referee and thirty players.  Rugby is a very difficult sport to officiate and players come to understand and respect the referee’s efforts and decisions.

Fights, cheap shots and deliberate attempts to injure occur far less frequently than with most other sports.  Trash talking and “dising” opponents aren’t common.  Ego displays and “me first“ attitudes aren’t acceptable.  The players aren’t bigger than the sport.

Most scoring plays require the contributions of many players working together passing or running with the ball.  Individual skills are important, but strong teamwork will succeed every time.

It may be a hard contact sport, but it’s also a sport with class. Rugby is a tough sport played by tough people. They play hard, they play to win, but they also mostly play fair.

Rugby is a sport with integrity and values.  No winning at all costs.  No hate for the other team.  Rugby may be aggressive, but it isn’t mean or vicious or violent.

Sportsmanship has survived in rugby. 

At the end of the day, rugby is just a game in the bigger game of life.
