Rugby Union |
| Rugby union (short for rugby union football and often referred to as simply rugby or rugger, to a lesser extent football, or union in countries familiar with rugby union and rugby league), is an outdoor sport played with an oval ball by teams of 15 players. William Webb Ellis, a pupil at Rugby School, is said to have "showed a fine disregard for the rules of football," by picking up the ball and running to the opponents' goal in 1823. This act is usually said to be the beginning of Rugby football. |
