The object of the game is that two teams of fifteen players each, should score as many
points as possible, by carrying, passing, kicking and grounding the ball with the team
scoring the greater number of points being the winner of the match. It is classified as an
'end zone invasion game'. The aim of each team is to gain possession of the ball, take it
into opposition territory and to place it in the in-goal area (end zone). Rugby is a game
of continuous flow, there is constant competition for the ball at the breakdown. These are
called Rucks and Mauls.
