rugby matches

Tries and tackles

Rugby matches are competitive games of rugby, the rough-and-tumble sport where players advance an oval ball by carrying, passing, or kicking it toward the opposing team's goal.

A match typically lasts 80 minutes and can be played under rugby union or rugby league rules, which differ in team size and scoring.

We watched the rugby matches all afternoon.

The phrase is straightforward—just the plural of rugby match.
