Sports in the UK

Sports in the UK

Rugby
Rugby is played in over 120 countries around the world.Generally, there are 15 players per team, though 7-players per team are also popular. Sometimes, there may also be 10-players per side. Each team must score as many points as possible. In rugby, carrying, passing, kicking and grounding the ball score points for the team. The team with the most number of points is the winner of the match.






Unusual sport in the UK:
The most unusual sport in the UK which must be very funny is the Pancake Racing - In which each participant carries a pancake in a frying pan. All the runners must toss their pancakes as they run and catch them in the frying pan. In Cyprus we have many traditional sports which we enjoy them in some celebrations and specifically on Easter. One of the most famous is the bag-running which people put their legs in a big bag and they have to run until the end.
