HISTORY OF RUGBY

People tell the story that in 1823, during a football match at a school in England, a young boy named William Webb Ellis picked up the ball with his hands and ran towards the opponent's goal line.

No one is sure that this actually happened. People like the story that the trophy awarded to the winners of the Rugby World Cup is called the Webb Ellis Cup.

International matches have been played since 1871, when the first match between Scotland and England was played in Edinburgh.

Rugby union was first played in Great Britain and Ireland, and later spread to other countries: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and France.

Two centuries later, Rugby has grown to become one of the world's most popular sports.

Rugby is played by two teams of 15 players: 8 forwards and 7 backs.

The match last two 40 minutes halves: 80 minutes in total.

You can run with the ball but can only pass it backwards.

Rugby is a contact sport, meaning the players can tackle one another for the ball, so long as it’s below the shoulders.

Rugby is different from other sports in that it is played by people of all shapes and sizes.

LINEOUT

SCRUM

The lineouts take place when the ball goes out the pitch. It involves players being lifted in the air to catch the ball thrown.

The scrum is a way to restart the game when somebody breaks one of the rules, where players from both teams push against each other in a contest for the ball.
