The math behind Rugby

Maths is used in almost every job. The jobs that use maths a lot are: medicine, science, engineering and more. Some jobs don't use maths a lot, they can just use basic addition or multiplication.

In Rugby you can use statistics, counting and measurement.

For statistics you can just do the collecting data part of it, you can collect data like how fast your opponents are and how slow they are and you can see the most areas that people don't go to. For counting you can see how much points your team has and when the timer is going to end. For measuring you can measure how far you need to run and how long you need to pass.

It is important to be good at statistics because if you go to an area with a really fast person and you don’t know, they might take the ball off you and score with it. It is important to be good at counting because if a black out happens and you forget what the score is, both of the teams might have to do that all again and get exhausted. It is important to be good at measuring because if you don’t know how long you need to throw you might throw the ball to an opponent.
