rugby team

Fifteen on pitch

A rugby team is a group of players who compete together in rugby, typically fifteen for rugby union or thirteen for rugby league.

The term extends beyond the playing squad to include coaching staff and support personnel.

Like other team sports, it can refer to the organization itself: She plays for the national rugby team.
