About This Answer
Rugby union teams field 15 players divided into forwards and backs. According to World Rugby, this format was established in the 1870s during rugby's formalization. The International Rugby Hall of Fame documents how the 15-player system creates balance between power and speed. Rugby strategists use specialized positions including props, locks, and fly-halves. The 15-player format distinguishes rugby union from rugby league's 13-player teams.
