- Synopsis
- This page has three images on it: a player tackling an opponent, a player making a touchdown and scoring a try, and a diagram showing the layout of a rugby pitch. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. A player tackling an opponent: The image on the top left of the page shows two players and a ball. The player in the centre of the image is seen from the side and facing left, so only one eye can be found. He has his arms stretched out to the left and down holding a rugby ball. An opponent is attempting to get hold of this leg to make him fall to the ground and release the ball. The player on the left wears a white shirt and blue shorts. The player on the right wears a green shirt and shorts (large print copy). A player making a touchdown and scoring a try: The image on the bottom left of the page shows two players and a ball. The player on the left of the image is seen from the side and facing left and down, so only one eye can be found. He has passed the tryline and is bending down as he runs. The arm and hand to the left is holding the ball which is about to be smacked down onto the ground. The player on the right is also running and trying to catch his opponent on the left to stop a try being scored. His arms are held out to the left. Diagram of a rugby pitch: This diagram on the right of the page shows the rugby pitch and fifteen members of each team. The players are represented here by large dots and crosses. At the top of the image there is a solid line which is the dead ball line which marks the start of the pitch. Down the page from this is the goal area where touchdowns are made to score tries. Down again is a second solid horizontal line, the try line. There are two small circles representing the goal posts in the middle of this line. The next line down is the 22 metre line and the next line is dashed which is the 10 metre line. In the middle of the image is the halfway line going across the image horizontally. Down from the centre line is the opposing team's goal and pitch area. This is a mirrored copy of the top half of the image. The vertical line on the left is one of the sidelines or touchline. Just to the right is a vertical dashed line. This marks the front of a lineout. Right again is a second dashed line which is the maximum lineout. Right of the centre of the image is a third dashed line, the other maximum lineout. Right of this is the other front of a lineout dashed line. The last vertical line on the right is solid which is the other sideline marking the edge of the pitch. Only the side lines run the entire length of the pitch. The dashed lines stop at the try lines. The players in the bottom half of the pitch represented by circles all have a name which relates to their role within the team. Just down from the halfway line are the forwards who are in the scrum when there is one. In the first row of three, the one to the left and right are props and the one in the middle is the hooker. The next row of two are simply called the second row. In the next row of three, the one to the left and right are flankers and the one in the middle is the Number 8. In the middle of this team's half of the pitch is a row of four players going to the left and down the page slightly. From the right they are the scrum-half, fly-half, inside centre and outside centre. At the bottom of the page is the left wing and right wing at the edge of the page. In the bottom centre, just up from the goal posts is the full back. The opposition team have the same formation but in a mirrored pattern. Pitch sizes vary slightly across the country. On average they are 100 metres long and 70 metres wide.
