Technology Rugby football British History: rugby football Home Library British History William Webb Ellis is credited with inventing rugby in 1823 by picking up the ball while playing football at Rugby School and running with it. The claim is disputed but there is little doubt that rugby developed at public schools out of a large-scale, few-rules, mauling scrum game. Definition of the code began in 1863 when the Football Association was formed and outlawed handling and hacking. Richmond, Blackheath, and some London clubs stayed with the handling code and in 1871 the Rugby Football Union was formed. As in soccer, the balance moved in favour of northern clubs and there were accusations of professionalism. In 1895 St Helens, Wigan, and a number of northern clubs formed a breakaway union, which became the Rugby Football League in 1922. The number of players was reduced from fifteen to thirteen and scrums restricted to produce a fast handling game. The two codes, amateur and professional, treated each other with disdain for many years. But the advent of television after the Second World War led to a gradual thaw. Rugby union introduced a league system, with promotion and relegation, expenses became ever more substantial, and the ban on players returning after playing rugby league was lifted in 1995. Full professionalism followed, together with substantial restructuring of competitions.

59. Rugby - New World Encyclopedia rugby union (short for rugby union football and often referred to as simply rugby, to a lesser extent football, or union in countries familiar with rugby union and rugby league http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Rugby

Rugby From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Rufus Wilmot Griswold) Next (Rugby league) A rugby union scrum. Rugby union (short for rugby union football and often referred to as simply rugby , to a lesser extent football , or union in countries familiar with rugby union and rugby league ), is an outdoor sport played by two teams of 15 players each with a oval ball on a rectangular grass field. It is one of the two main codes of rugby football, the other being rugby league. The code is administered globally by the International Rugby Board (IRB) and currently played in over 100 countries on 6 continents. Rugby union claims to have formed the first football clubs and the sport is still played today traditionally between local clubs administered by local or provincial unions. Today, the highest level of Rugby Union is played between some of the 100 nations playing the game. These matches between national teams are called "Test" matches. The Rugby World Cup is held every four years between the major national rugby union teams. The tournament claims to be the third largest international sporting event in the world behind the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics . Rugby Union is also played by women's teams and there is also a quicker seven-a-side variation called rugby sevens, which exists in both forms. Rugby union has been a men's medal sport at the modern Summer Olympic Games; it was played at four of the first seven Olympic competitions. The sport debuted at the 1900 Paris games, featured at the London games in 1908, the Antwerp games in 1920 and the Paris games in 1924. Shortly after the 1924 games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) cancelled rugby union as an Olympic sport. The modified sevens version of the sport is now played at some large international competitions such as the Commonwealth Games.
