ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Snow rugby

Snow rugby is just like regular rugby, but it is played in the snow!

In regular rugby, you have two teams who try to score points by carrying or kicking a ball and getting it over the other team's goal line. But in snow rugby, the game is played on a field covered in snow, which makes everything more slippery and fun.

The players wear special clothing to stay warm in the snow. They have on thick socks and boots with spikes to help them keep their balance on the slick surface. They also wear warm coats, hats, and gloves to protect them from the cold.

When the game starts, the players try to get the ball and run as fast as they can towards the other team's goal line. But because of the snow, it is harder to run, so sometimes the players slip and fall! It is funny to see them try to get back up and keep going.

The players also have to be careful because the snow can make the ball wet and slippery too. This means they have to hold onto the ball really tightly so they don't drop it.

Another fun thing about snow rugby is that when the players tackle each other, they make snow splashes! Instead of just falling on the ground, they fall and make a big puffy cloud of snow. It looks really cool!

In snow rugby, the rules are the same as regular rugby. The players still have to pass the ball backwards, and they still have to try to score points by crossing the other team's goal line. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Snow rugby is a fun way to play rugby in the winter and enjoy the snow. It may be a little bit more slippery and cold, but it adds a new twist to the game and makes it even more exciting!
