The game of rugby is played on a rugby field. Sometimes it is also called a pitch. It is about 100 metres long and 70 metres wide with goal posts on goal lines. These two goal posts are shaped like a huge H with the top half of the vertical lines elongated high above. This too is a ball game like football. The two main differences between football and rugby are
1. It is played with a ball that is not round, but a prolate spheroid. That means it is elliptical in shape.
2. The players are allowed to hold the ball in their hands and run towards the goal.
