Rugby is a team sport that delivers significant social and health benefits. It can also be a physically demanding sport and players should be physically and mentally prepared, and understand how to play safely. It is the responsibility of all – players, coaches and parents – to ensure that a positive, safe, enjoyable environment is created where ALL players will be able to reach their fullest potential, and that \u2013 whatever form of the game you play – the training and education materials and equipment are there to support everyone in creating that environment. The most common and traditional form of rugby is played with 15 players on either team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
