  3. How to get into Rugby Unionpublished at 12:40 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2021

    BBC Sport

    Camaraderie and teamwork are vital skills in most team sports, but none to the same extent as in rugby union.

    From schoolyard games of touch to lining up for your country in the Six Nations, rugby union is a sport of skill, bravery and strength.

    If you are more interested in throwing a ball around there are plenty of options for you, from the aforementioned touch, where tackling is banned, to light-hearted options like beach rugby.

    Although a certain level of physical stature is required in the professional ranks, rugby union really is an accessible sport, with the wide range functions between different positions making it a sport for everybody.

    Forwards are typically stronger, heavier and entrusted with the more physical aspects of the game, whereas back utilise pace and agility.

    It is incredibly popular at universities and women’s rugby clubs around the country are always looking for enthusiastic player and the next new pool of talent.
