2) The game of Rugby probably started in 1823 at Rugby School in England when William Webb Ellis
picked up a football and ran with it. However, various football games played in medieval Britain and
Europe allowed handling of the ball, while a type of football similar to today's Australian rules was
played as Rugby almost a hundred years before Webb Ellis. The first rules were drawn up in 1848 and
Rugby Football Union (RFU) was formed by Edwin Ash in 1871. Today the game is played between two
teams of 15 players. The two biggest events in the sport are the International Championship and the
World Cup. The International Championship began in 1884 and was originally played by four teams:
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, France joined in 1910 and Italy in 2000, making it a six-nation
tournament. The Rugby World Cup was launched in 1987 and has been held every four years since
then. In 2003, twenty teams took part and nearly two million people attended forty eight matches.
