Rugby league is a team sport played by two teams of 13 players. Rugby league is one of the two major codes of rugby, the other being rugby union.

The aim is to carry an oval ball (correct geometric shape is in the family of spheroid and is a prolate by nature) up the field towards the opposing team’s in-goal where the ball is grounded to score a try, worth four points. Having scored the try, the team has the right to attempt to kick a goal worth a further two points if successful. The kick may be taken from any point on an imaginary line parallel with the touch-line and through the point where the try was scored. The opposing team attempts to prevent the attacking team from carrying out this objective by tackling the player with the ball.
