Its termed a "pitch"
Rugby is played on a leveled grass field known as a pitch.
Its the 100 meter by 70 meter field where rugby is played on. A rugby ground is a term used for all the facilities and the playing area - the pitch is where the game is played within the ground.
It isn't. People think it is because when the people show the football pitch, it looks bigger. When it's the rugby pitch they show it at the side so it looks smaller than a football pitch. From :)
There are 100 yards in a football field because football is based off of rugby and a rugby field has 100 yards.
