Today we will talk about betting on sporting events. More precisely, about the game of rugby. A very popular sport that is gaining momentum every day. Some believe that ordinary football will soon be one step in popularity along with rugby. Today, many people betting on rugby at Betwinner get big money. But you need to know the rules of the game. As well as some historical facts to understand how sporting events have been updated.

Basic game rules to help you make winning betting strategies

The rules of rugby are quite complex and voluminous, and, of course, every player must know and follow them, not without reason in the original language they are called rugby laws. But for novice players, you should not immediately try to cover everything, you can study gradually. Faced with something new in training – looked into the rules, figured it out. We saw something incomprehensible in the match, turned to the rules, studied the episode.

However, from the very beginning, every rugby player should know what he can do. And this is quite succinctly described in paragraph 7.1 Playing the game:

The match starts with a kickoff.
After the kick-off, any player in play may: catch or pick up the ball and run with it.
Any player may throw or kick the ball.
Any player may pass the ball to another player.
Any player may tackle, hold or push an opponent in possession of the ball.
Any player may fall on the ball.
Any player may take part in a scrum, ruck, maul or line out.
Any player may ground the ball in the in-goal.
The player with the ball can push the opponent away with his hand.
Any action of the player must comply with the rules of the game.

Naturally, there are nuances for almost every item. For example, you can only pass the ball with your hands to the side or back, and you can only grab it below the shoulders. But they need to be mastered as you develop in the game.

Also note. We recommend that you read the verified news before betting. For example, recently told that York City 2-0 Boston United: Dawn of a new era for Minstermen!

The first matches in rugby are historical facts worth knowing

The first international match took place in 1871 between the teams of England and Scotland. Since then, the game has gained popularity throughout the British Empire: in Ireland, Wales, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. In the last two regions, rugby is still almost a cult. There is a joke that young New Zealanders who did not get into the rugby section go to football (perhaps that is why the country can not boast of success in football).

But it was New Zealand that won the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and is the reigning champion. The national team of this country is not just a team of great athletes, but the global brand All Blacks (the name comes from the shape of black), which promotes the game around the world.

Even people who haven’t seen a single rugby match have sometimes heard of Baku, a New Zealanders’ pre-match combat dance. This is a small show and a tribute to the ancestors, which the Oceanian are trying to intimidate the enemy and adjust to a fierce battle.

In England, the cradle of rugby, the game was admired by both ordinary people and the aristocracy. The latter were not interested in making money on it, unlike the former. Since then, the game has split into several varieties. Today, the official rugby 15 (in terms of number of players), or Rugby Union, Rugby 13, or Rugby League, and Rugby 7.

The most popular on the planet, including in Ukraine, are Rugby 15 and its version Rugby 7 (already included in the program of the 2016 Olympic Games), but the rules of Rugby 13 are somewhat different, although this variety has its supporters. There are also less contact versions of the game – rugby touch and beach rugby, of which Kyiv holds annual tournaments.
