How long per half in rugby?

Answer 1

An A grade or International Rugby match is designated to consist of 2 40 minute halves.

However the referee is the sole judge of time. If he starts and stops his watch slightly differently to the field it can run a little longer. the time is also only up when there is a stoppage of play. so if the attacking team has possession time will be up once they either kick it out or cause and infringement

Answer 2

There are 40 minutes per half in rugby. However, the rule is the half does not finsih until the ball goes out of play or a stoppage occurs which means a game can have more than 40 minutes in the half.

Answer 3

Usually 15 mins but it can be extended at the refs discretion for unusual circumstances such as pitch invasion/injury or other special circumstances.. However I believe both captains must agree if it goes on too long!
