There are two different types of Rugby in the UK, there is Rugby League and Rugby Union, in this article I shall be focussing on the latter of the two. Rugby Union is competed by two teams and they both have 15 players each and of course the aim of the game is to get more points than the opposition, just like it is in most sports.

Although there are a few different rumours on how the game was founded, the most common is taken from a game of regular football but a player picked the ball up and ran with it, this player was called William Webb-Ellis and because of William’s antics, there is a cup competition every four years named after him.

Although a big national sport, Rugby Union was in deed still known as an amateur sport until as late as 1995 when the IRB (International Rugby Board) declared the game “open” meaning that there was no limit on what payments were made to the players of the game.

In all honesty I am not the biggest of Rugby fans, maybe it’s because I do not fully understand the rules but it is a hugely played and supported sport across the whole world, Australia, South Africa, France, Italy, the UK & Ireland to name but a few.

The most prestigious competition in Rugby League is the adventurously named “Rugby World Cup” where national teams from all over the world battle it out every four years in the hope to be crowned the world champions.
