| FIELD OF PLAY Rugby is played on a field, called a pitch, which is longer and wider than a football field, more like a soccer field. A typical pitch is 100 meters (110 yards) long and 70 meters (75 yards) wide. Additionally, there are 10-22 meter end zones, called the in-goal area, behind the goalposts. The goalposts are ‘H’-shaped cross bars located on the goal line and are the same size as American football goalposts. |
