 Rugby union is most often referred to as simply rugby. It has also been known by the name rugger, although that term has declined in use.[2][3] A rugby union match lasts for 80 minutes, (plus stoppage time), with a short interval (no more than 10 minutes)[4] after the first 40 minutes; at under-19 level and below, games are limited to a maximum of 80 minutes, with an interval after 35 minutes.[5] A match is controlled by a referee, who is assisted by two touch judges or assistant referees. For professional matches, a television match official (TMO), commonly called the video referee is often employed, usually to advise the referee on matters pertaining to the scoring of tries and dropped goals. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible. The team that scores the greater number of points is the winner.
