The Rugby World Cup 2023 has once again introduced more people to the great sport of rugby. If you don’t know the rules yet, it seems like a simple game: you need to get the ball and then push it to the ground over the opponent’s try line. It may seem like it is not that difficult, yet it is a bit more complicated.

Wassenaar Warriors is pleased to offer the free, nicely illustrated booklet ‘Rugby: A Game of Strength, Strategy, and Territory’, explaining the basic elements of rugby in an understandable way. For example, how is a rugby pitch constructed, what is ‘Offside’, a ‘Ruck’, a ‘Line out’ and when is a scrum formed? Together with the illustrations, the booklet offers a great way to learn about the basic elements of rugby. It’s a fun and educational read for everyone, whether you already know the rules, or want to know more about this great sport.

      Hi Maurits, it’s a basic guide to the laws of rugby as laid down by World Rugby. Any variations are local and age related.
