Rugby-a Game of Savage.


The game 'Rugby' originated in Rugby school England.The game is actually said to be derived from the game of Football or soccer.The game differs from soccer in its rules and the way the players play the game.In 1823 a man named William Webb Ellis took the ball in his hand and ran of to make the first try.This lead to the the new game called rugby.The people started playing rugby and the shape of the ball changed as the rules did.The ball was made oval and was made out of pig's bladders.
The game is called a game of savage because the players of a team just clash with their opponents to get the ball for a try.The pads and guards the players wear just show how badly they can get hurt without the pads.With so many injuries in the history rugby is one of the dangerous games of all times.
