The Pitch

The Rugby Pitch

Halfway Line - marks the field in half, regardless of the size of the field

10 Meter Line - a line marked 10 meters from the halfway line on either side; marks the distance that a kickoff must go before the opposing team may gain possession of the ball

22 Meter Line - a line marked 22 meters from the goal line (or try line); marks where spot play is restarted.

In Goal - the equivalent of the end zone in NFL football, marked by the Goal Line and the Dead Ball Line; must be less than 22 meters and greater than 10 meters in length

The Goal Post - the same dimensions as NFL Football: 5.6 meters wide and 3 meters high at the crossbar
