Keio NY rugby team had a home game(scrimmage) on last Sunday.
That was the first time to see live rugby game.
Keio won that game very easily, but they looked so tired after the game.
I have watched some rugby games on TV in Japan with my father, because the rugby team of my father's college is good at rugby.
So I know about some rules of rugby.
Keio University has the strongest rugby team in Japan and many professional players who are playing in Japanese League were the graduates of this team.


Today I want to introduce the rule of rugby.
Players cannot throw behind the player, they have to throw a rugby ball behind the player.
That is the biggest difference between rugby and American football.
Players make good passes and run to the goal where the Poul is standing to get points.
That is called TRY, and the team gets 5 points by TRY.
After TRY, the kicker let kick the rugby ball to the Poul.
If the ball go throw between of the Poul, the team gets 2 points.
There are 2 types of positions, forward and backs like football, and each players on the field have different job to get the score.
And 15 players can play one at the time.
The other difference between rugby and football is the protectors of each players.
In football, all players must wear the helmet and they put on thick and heavy protectors in their uniform.
But in rugby, the players do not wear the protectors like football, they wear thinner protectors than football in their uniform.
And also the shape of ball is rare shape like this picture.

I want to see home rugby games next time with my friends.
