Rugby history

Hello, you
Do you know what a sport called Rugby did?
The origin of Rugby goes back to Britain of the 1800s.
It is said that it is the beginning of Rugby that the boy called William wig Ellis began to run with the ball at a high school in Britain called a Rugby school during the game of English school football.
although soccer and Rugby not being segmented just, and it being treated as the same football during 1500 after 1400, and using a hand was accepted, having begun to run with the ball illuminates at first, and this is in it -- it is .
The football of the Rugby rule permeated gradually after this, and the foundation of modern Rugby was done.
However, after the 19th century, the rule was unified and, as for the football performed with various rules, the football of the soccer rule was done.
The club of this Tokikazu part has not agreed on this, but founded Rugby Football Union to London in 1871.
In this way, Rugby permeates mainly by Britain and became a sport representing the Europe district or the Southern Hemisphere.
It developed in Lancaster in northern England, the Yorkshire district, and southern Wales also in it.
However, as for Rugby, since the pro contract to the company did not exist, division of Rugby Football Union took place at the northern part in 1895.
There is two Rugby in the world even now taking advantage of it.
The Rugby union of an amateur principle which one uses a southern part as the mother's body, and is not concerned in consideration, but enjoys Rugby as a hobby, and another have a Rugby League centering on the northern part which asks for remuneration at playing Rugby.
When divided, there was no difference in a rule, but a union now A 15-person system, The league serves as a 13-person system, if the direction of a league has eliminated high density of a forward player and it is intelligibly seen from the man in the street rather than a union, it may be showy and may be impressive, but to the fun of a union,
Although in the past had a strong confrontation, the union is strengthening by accepting professionalization and both tying up for Rugby game development now.
Thus, since game population is also small, I want the person who read this report and got interested to look at Rugby by all means by being unpopular in Japan, although Rugby is derivation of soccer.
Probably, the frenzy which has not certainly been experienced is waiting for you.


cannot be considered at all.
