World rugby is a game played with an oval-shaped ball and is kind of like tag and a really fun game for grown-ups! There are two teams, each made up of 15 players, who try to score points by carrying or kicking the ball over the other team's goal line.
Players can only pass the ball backward or sideways, but can kick it forward to gain ground. When a player has the ball, the other team tries to tag them by grabbing a special cloth tag hanging from their waist. If the player gets tagged, they have to stop and pass the ball as quickly as possible to avoid getting tackled.
The game is played on a big grassy field and lasts for 80 minutes, with two 40 minute halves. During the game, players wear special clothing with colorful jerseys and shorts that make it easy to tell which team they're on.
World rugby is also a big deal in many countries around the world, with big tournaments like the Rugby World Cup that take place every four years. People all over the world enjoy watching and playing this exciting sport!
