Rugby

Children who are around the ages of U12-U13 may use size 4 or 5 balls, but if you are thinking of purchasing one I would recommend a size 5 to help practice. Children from the ages of U10-U11 use 3.

The Barbarian Rugby Club is a British rugby team that has been around since the 1800s. Some of the past famous players include: Cliff Morgan, Andy Irvine, Jack Kyle, Gerald Davies, and Phil Bennett.

Season 2007/2008 starts on the 6th of October 2007 and finishes on the 12th of April 2008. The championship playoffs start on the 20th of April and the Grand Final in played on the 18th of May 2008

Each team may continue to play with seven field players. Starting with eleven, that means four of them may be sent off and still continue. Further, substitutes and substituted players may be sent off, but this does not affect the total number of field players. A team may nominate up to seven substitutes to sit on their bench, and the game may lawfully continue if all seven are sent off, for a total of eleven per team, and a grand total of twenty-two.

A soccer match absolutely must be stopped if 23 people have been sent off and shown the red card, with the assumptions listed above.

The fewest red cards that may force a match to be stopped is 5, reducing a single team to six field players.

Note that the referee may terminate or abandon the match at any time, and will most likely do so long before this level is reached. Also, it is possible for the referee to continue showing red cards after the match has been terminated or abandoned. This means that it is technically possible for 36 red cards to be shown before, during, and after a given match.

England has 270,000 and France about 220,000 registered players (The vast majority unprofessional). Ireland, wales and Scotland have far less - I think around 40,000 - 50,000 for Ireland and wales, but only around 30,000 in Scotland. There are around 140,000 in New Zealand, 166,000 in Australia and 430,000 in south Africa. South Africa wins!

Since the world cup in France in 2007 there's been an explosion of registration here in clubs (still all voluntary club registration during off-school time, rugby is almost inexistant at school level in France) ; in 2009 there were 360 000 affiliates, of whom around 300 000 were players , 96% males ; in collective sports ranking, rugby was behind football (soccer) with 2M affiliates, 97% males, basketball, + 400 000 affiliates, 60% males, and handball, 390 000 affiliates, 60 to 70% males.

Rugby is still the second most popular collective sport in France by far behind soccer, of course, but way in front of all others (I mean TV ratings and media coverage).

England has the most but they are counted differently in Anglo-saxon countries and the rest of the world; here it is more or less mandatory in school, there it is learned and played off school in clubs on a purely voluntary basis.

Anyway the winner is England, around 1 million (to take with caution but anyway it is probably the country with the most rugby players in one way or another)

Then it's South Africa (same remarks) with around 400 000, mostly whites

Then it's France (purely voluntary) 230 000

Then it's New Zealand 220 000

Then it's probably Japan somewhere between 150 000 and 200 000

Italy is exploding with new players with something like 90-100 000

John Kirwan declared that there are 90 000 players in Sri Lanka (curious, but why not?)

There are thousands of undeclared players playing informally in the slums of Antananarivo, and around a hundred clubs in the town itself, in Madagascar ; it is a unique country in the sense that the game there is the poor people's one, a unique case in the developing world

They are around 70 000 players in Argentina as well as in Australia, between 60 000 and 70 000 in Ireland as well as in the USA , something like 30 000 in Wales and like 20 000 in Scotland, between 20 000 and 30 000 in Canada.

Georgia didn't even have a proper rugby field until recently despite its international results ; the biggest proportion of rugby players relative to the population (whole!) is in the polynesian countries ; a staggering 5 to 10 per cent in fidji, Samoa, Tonga!!!

Heyneke Meyer is the current coach of the South African rugby team the Springboks. Meyer replaced former coach Peter de Villiers. Meyer was the former coach of the Blue Bells.

The first six nations was in 2000 which England won. Before that it was called five nations because Italy wasnt involved until 2000. There were four nations from 1883 to 1910, and then France joined.

Football boots, called cleats or soccer shoes in North America, are an item of footwear worn when playing association football. Those designed for grass pitches have studs on the outsole to aid grip. From simple and humble beginnings football boots have come a long way and today find themselves subject to much research, development, sponsorship and marketing at the heart of a multi-national global industry. Modern "boots" are not truly boots in that they do not cover the ankle.

In the union code

15 players on each team (plus substitutes). This totals no more than thirty players on the field at any point during the game from both side. If there are more than 15 players from one team on the field, it is a penalty.

In the League code there are 13 players plus subs for each team. No more than 26 may be on the field at anyone time. In this code the wing fowards (flankers) are not used.

In a severns team as the name infers only 7 a side for each team may be on the fieled of play at anyone time.

For the marjority of the games including the RWC it was David Kirk who took over from the injured Andy Dalton.

My opinion is that it would be a knock on, the Ref will pick you up on the original drop, I think you'd have to make it clear it is meant to be a drop kick.

Stuart Fielden went from Bradford to Wigan for an estimated half million quid package (cash plus players).

At the moment the captain of England is Steve Borthwick also captain for Saracens

10 Minutes golden point then a draw is awarded

When the game was introduced to the Southern Hemesphere around 1840 The game was taken there by members of the armed forces, missionaries and well to do business people whop had played the game in Private school and thereafter university. The game became popular when small townships opened up and played against each other. The game in Australia is popular due to its physical nature, the spin off game of Australian rules and the weather conditions which compared to the northern hemisphere leads itself to more playable weeks due to the milder winter weather. Added to this is the excellent standards produced by their development academies

The following answer is taken from the RFU Laws of Rugby Continuum for Mini/Junior players. APPENDIX A CONTINUUM DISPENSATION on the wearing of Goggles. In the rugby game involving players under the age of 13 and upwards players cannot play rugby, or any variation of it, wearing glasses as this is a danger to the player and to the others on the field. In order to remove this potential barrier to participation, the Director of Community Rugby at the R.F.U. has given the following dispensation for children in the Continuum (U7 to U12) age grades only. Players may wear specially designed and manufacture 'goggles' on the understanding that the child's optician certifies that • They allow the player to have properly corrected vision and do not substantially restrict any normal field of vision • They do not constitute a physical danger to the wearer or other players. The first pair of approved spectacles taken into use were provided by David Cashmore, "Specsavers Opticians", 14/15 New Street, Birmingham, B2 4RQ - 0121 616 2220. As this is a national chain, these should be available throughout the country. It is hoped that by the time the children wearing such goggles reach the under 13 playing age they might be suitable for the wearing of contact lenses and so continue in their chosen sport.
