Ok the point of this game is to like any other game win points for your team. In the game of rugby there are 15 players on the field from each team unless you are playing a game of sevens then (you guessed it) there are only seven players on the field from each team.. Each player has a place on the field according to his/her number

In rugby every one on your team gets to handle the ball and you all work as a team so you all get to share the glory when your team gets a “TRY”.
The way you win a point is buy scoring a TRY on the offending team. You get a TRY by placing the ball on the goal line or“try line”with pressure on the ball. You don't win a TRY by running over the try line and doing a little dance and then spiking the ball into the ground like you do in football. You must have your body or hand on the ball with full control of it when you place it in point line. If you lose the ball when you try to get a TRY the offending team can jump on the ball before you regain control of it and therefore you lose your TRY so make sure that you have control of the ball.
