Get That Ball! (1)

Players must move fast and tackle hard in rugby
衝勁滿分的英式橄欖球！ 在英式橄欖球賽中，球員必須快速移動、大力擒抱

The crowd cheers and shouts as two 15-man teams take the field. Their goal? To carry or kick a ball over their opponent's try line. The game looks like a mixture of soccer and American football. In this rough-and-tumble sport, players carry the ball, kick the ball and tackle one another. Men play it; women play it; and so do children. In fact, played in more than 120 countries, rugby is tremendously popular! Legend says the sport of rugby was invented in 1823 at Rugby School in England.

A student named William Webb Ellis was playing in a soccer match. But he got bored with just kicking the ball, so he picked up the ball and ran with it. The rest, as they say, is history.

A rugby team has two kinds of players: backs and forwards. The backs are smaller, faster players. They are the ones who score most of the points, called tires. The forwards are bigger and heavier. They tackle players on the opposing team . Each exciting, energetic match lasts 80 minutes.
