RUGBY
Rugby is a contact team sport which
originated in England in the first half of the 19th centuryOne of the two codes
of rugby football, it is based on running with the ball in hand. In its most
common form, a game is between two teams of 15 players using an oval-shaped ball
on a rectangular field with H-shaped goalposts on each try line.
Rugby football is named after Rugby School, the school
in England where it was developed
Origins
Legend has it that one day in 1823, a senior boy
called William Webb Ellis elected to run with the ball rather than retiring to
kick it as was the normal mode of play in Rugby School football matches.
"Running in" was not considered quite the done thing then but was
later formalised in the laws of Rugby Football (first published in 1846)
This is the classic rugby ball
Actually, rugby is played with this ball
