All forms of Rugby (League, Union, Sevens, etc) are divided into halves.

The only time I can recall rugby games played in quarters was during the year 2000, when the (Australian) National Rugby League competition introduced breaks at quarter and three-quarter time.

This was because the first few weeks of the competition had been pushed forward to earlier in the year (ie: Summer) to accomodate the Sydney Olympics and there were public fears about player safety.

Technically there are NO quarters in rugby however, you will hear reference to how a team played in the first, second third quarter for instance to give people an idea of which part of the gametime they are referring. - Its the 20 minute slots. The game in both codes works in halves of 40 minutes duration
