A beginners guide to rugby union

Rugby. A game played by gentlemen or a game I prefer to describe as a mortal’s clash of the Titans. If you’re new to the game of rugby, you might get a little confused about what’s actually going on. You might, for example, wonder why the game keeps stopping; whether there’s actually any difference between a ‘ruck’ and a ‘maul’; and what the heck a scrum is anyway?! As someone who was – until recently – a rugby novice, I feel your pain. I’ve always enjoyed rugby but, now I understand it, I’ve become one of those slightly annoying people that refer to technical rugby terms in casual conversation. And, once you’ve learnt it, the game is actually a lot simpler than you think.

125,000 people flock to the Epsom Downs each year to witness the greatest Flat race in the world – the Investec Derby Festival. A quintessentially English racing meet steeped in history and drama… and the hats are pretty amazing too! The thunder of hooves, the roars of the crowds – all against a backdrop of the gorgeous Epsom Downs, this is the ultimate experience in Flat racing. But how does it all take place so seamlessly?
