You have found this assignment on the PE Blog. Please copy and past the assignment and rubric into you’re blog. Do the assignment and assess yourself on the rubric. Email me you’re blog when finished… by Monday the 19th.

1. Watch at least one half of a game from the Rugby World Cup (Schedule).
Which game(s) did I watch?
Wales vs South Africa
2 Write a brief introductory paragraph (about 4 sentences) starting with “The aim of Rugby Union is to….”
The aim of Rugby Union is to use the ball to score more points than the other team. You can run with the ball, kick it and pass it, and passing forwards is not allowed. Rugby union is a contact sport.
3. The world cup running at the moment in New Zealand is the game of Rugby Union. Briefly (no more than 4 sentences) describe the difference between Rugby Union and Rugby League.
The pitches are different sizes, a try is worth 5 in rugby union and 4 in rugby league. A maximum of 15 players can play rugby union but rugby league only allows 13. Also in rugby league using the shoulder to tackle is legal whereas in rugby union it is illegal.
4. List the teams who have won the RWC in its entire history.
England won it once, along new zealand and Australia and South Africa won it twice.

5. Choose one of the following to explain in detail: Knock on, Offside, Scrum, Line Out or Hooker.

A hooker throws the ball in the lineout and is positioned in between the 2 props. The name comes from when the ball is in the scrum the hooker uses his foot to “hook” the ball into their teams posession

6. In brief (no more than 4 sentences), explain where Rugby Union originated and how a pacific island nation came upon it.

The first rugby game was in England on a school field. The first international game was played between England and Wales in1871. The pacific nations were first introduced when British army men played it there, similar to Cricket in India.

7. What examples of Internationalism are evident throughout the RWC?

The haka performed by some pacific nations is an example of internationalism becuase Nations are sharing their cultures. Also when players shake hands and compliment eachother at the end of a game is good because the players put aside thier cultral differences.

8. Identify an occasion in the RWC where an opportunity to learn about another culture was evident.

The opening ceremony when the haka was performed is an example becuase people would learn about the Maori culture through the haka.

9. Give evidence of an occasion in the RWC where two or more communities have come together in good spirit?

The teams often shake hands after a game and also teams go and look around new zealand and learn about the culture sometimes

10. Millions of dollars are spent on this event. Do you think it was money well spent? Yes/No, Why/Why Not

I think it is bad becuase there was a big earthquake in new zealand and the money should be used for relief efforts.

    Hi Thomas,
    Whilst I couldn’t find your SELF ASSESSMENT, I thought your answers to the questions were very good. You showed a good understanding and added extra information that was appropriate. I liked your thoughts on the latter few questions. You explained yourself well. Here is a question for you: Do you think that the money generated from hosting the RWC helped the victims of the earthquake? Do you think the ‘spirit’ and positive energy generated helped the victims?
    Well done on a good assignment and approach to PE.

    Mr T
