Beach Rugby (also known as Beach Fives) is a variant of Rugby Union but as the name suggests this variant is played on sand.
Two teams of 5 players each compete to accrue the most points during the match by carrying the ball across the field of play and placing it down in the opposing teams touch line, called a “Try”. A team can have 7 replacements. A match has two 5 minute halves with a 1 to 3 minute break at half time.
Unlike the regular game there are no line-outs and no scrums. Whilst rules can vary by league or tournament, a try is usually worth 1 or 2 points, there is no conversion kick after a try as there are no posts.
