This episode of Global Sports Odyssey explores the rules and gameplay of rugby, breaking down the basic structure, scoring system, player positions, and key differences between Rugby Union and Rugby League. We also highlight the major global competitions, including the Rugby World Cup, Six Nations Championship, and State of Origin.

Beyond the field, we examine rugby’s deep cultural impact, from New Zealand’s haka and South Africa’s historic 1995 World Cup victory to the passionate rivalries in Europe and the Pacific Islands. Rugby is more than a game—it’s a symbol of national pride, history, and unity.
