It should be grass but other surfaces which are not hard are allowed. Rugby grounds include the field and the area closely surrounding it. Next step Return to Select a topic Rugby Field outline There's a touch-line along each side and a dead-ball line at each end. These are important lines. If the ball or a player carrying the ball touches any of these lines (or anything or anyone outside these lines) the ball is out of play. The game stops and must be re-started. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic Halfway line The halfway line divides the rugby field into two equal halves. Two teams play. Each team defends one half of the field and attacks the other. At half time the teams swap ends. Deep in your own half is where you may be catching the high ball delivered by the opposition using the "up-and-under" kick. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic Goal-line and in-goal area A rugby pitch (same meaning as rugby field) has a goal-line for each half of the field. At the centre of each goal-line is a set of goal posts. You score rugby tries when you touch the ball on the ground in the in-goal area of the other team. Their in-goal area
Sometimes you send the ball through the defence into the in-goal area with a rolling grubber kick and touch it down to score a try. The field of play is the part of the field with the touch-lines along the sides and goal lines across the ends. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic 22 Metre line and 22 area .Lines 22 metres out from the goal-lines in each half show the "22 areas" of the rugby field. "22 areas" are made up of
Sometimes the game restarts with a drop kick from within the 22 area. It must simply cross the 22-metre line. The ball may be kicked "into touch" (across either touch-line) from anywhere on the field. It's a way of moving forward, gaining ground.
Outside the 22 you sometimes kick for touch with a bouncing grubber kick to make sure it touches the ground before going in to touch. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic 10 Metre Line In rugby games, play is started (and restarted after points are scored) with a kick from the centre of the halfway line towards the opposition who are waiting in their half of the field. All the players of the team with the ball must be behind the kicker when the ball is kicked. The ball must travel at least 10 metres beyond the halfway line. So this can be easily judged a dashed line is placed 10 metres from halfway, both sides of the halfway line. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic > 5 Metre line - in from touch, dash line Play stops when the ball goes "into touch" (across a touch-line). Play restarts with a "lineout". The ball is thrown from the touch-line into the space between two lines of players. It must travel at least 5 metres. These lines show the minimum distance the ball must travel. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic 15 Metre line - in from touch, dash line Rugby players taking part in a lineout must stand within 15 metres of the touch line. The 15 metre lines (one at each side of the field) show the maximum length of the lineout. In some cases scrums, penalties or free kicks are to be 15 metres in from the touch-line. These lines show where that is. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic 5 Metre line out from goal-line, dash line Sometimes a penalty or scrum will be awarded and must take place 5 metres from the goal-line, in line with a point along the goal-line decided by the match official. These lines indicate the required distance from the goal-line. Next step Previous step Return to Select a topic All lines on a rugby field You may think viewing the rugby field as a whole is not easy. Take it apart, see a bit at a time, put it back together as you have and you know you will remember the field layout You could practice when you have spare moments. Close your eyes, picture each part. See how it all fits together. Move around, change direction, go all over. See the lines you know think about the rules that apply and remember you can use rugby sidesteps anywhere on the field!
