Origins of Rugby
The game of Rugby started out with this guy to the left William Web Ellis he was the first person to pick up the soccer ball or in Europe the football and ran forward with it. He was palying a soccer game and in the middle of the game he cuaght the ball and ran with it forward. Later him and others decided they liked it so they began making rules. Teams were not limited to a set amount of players which made it more chaotic. A rule they used that seen today though is in the event of a tie the would do a kick out in the event of a tie, the first team to miss the kick at the goals would lose.
