RUGBY HISTORY

The Rugby is a contact sport team born in England.
During the nineteenth century it developed among private
schools in England a game called football carnival that students
practiced in every British town. This kind of rules emerge
modern rugby and football and other sports related.
The invention of rugby is attributed to a student of the School of
Rugby. According to the story, in 1823, during a game of
football or soccer carnival, William Webb Ellis, disobeying the
rules of the game, took the ball with his hands and carried it to
the opposing goal, getting a goal.
This event is officially approved by the International Rugby
Board as the first antecedent of the modern rugby, and the
trophy to the winners of the Rugby World Cup is named after
delivery.
A mid-nineteenth century came the need to unify the rules of the
game and put them in writing, although opponents agreed
before each game rules, arguments and quarrels about the
actions that were permitted or prohibited, it was inconvenient
each more noticeable.
The Rules of Rugby were written on August 28, 1845 by three
students, William Delafield Arnold, WW Shirley, and Frederick
Hutchins. It consisted of a series of recitals and 37 rules that
constitute the first antecedent of the modern rugby regulated.
There are rules which then signal the identity of the game.
