Rugby is one of the most interesting sports in the world today. Rugby derives its name from the place where it was invented. Rugby was invented at a school named Rugby in Warwickshire in England. There are many famous derivatives of rugby namely American Football and Australian Rules football.  In the modern world there are two main forms of rugby. Namely Rugby league and another form known as Rugby Union, both these forms are adopted in countries playing rugby. Rugby League is one of the most popular forms and is a professional sport.

There are 13 players on a rugby field and they are divided as forwards and backs. Shirt numbers are assigned to each player and numbers 1 to 13 are normally given to players who start the game. The numbers 14 to 17 are given to players who start on the bench and are substitutes. Each team which follows Rugby league rules is allowed to make 10 substitutions per game. In Rugby the backs are the creative engines of the side. They engineer all the creative passes and are usually found to be the kick takers and the penalty takers in a side. A Rugby team can employ wingers or wing players who play on the sides of the field and are generally players who can run fast. The forwards are the musclemen of the team and their main function is to protect the backs and the wing men and also to support attacking moves.
