Rugby stemmed from the United Kingdom, and rugby football was its original name, which was short for rugby. For its shape liked an olive, we called it "football" in China. Rugby was actually a city in the central England. The rugby school was the birthplace of rugby football. A stone tablet stood in the school, which read" In memory of W. W. Ellis's brave action ". It is said that one of its student, Ellis, once in a football match, held the ball to run as a fault under an emergency in 1823. This made the other players to follow. Although this was a foul, it provided people with a new revelation. Rugby drew the interests of sports enthusiasts around the world in Britain and the commonwealth areas. As time passed, it was gradually recognized by others. So, a new sport with great importance of exercise and with the advantages in your body's comprehensive development, derived from the football.
After 1839; rugby developed at Cambridge University little by little and opened the rugby football club in succession. The interschool competitions also got active. UK set up the Football Association in 1871, soon this sport spread ...
... quickly to European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In 1886, the International Football Federation was established. The International Football game was held in France in 1906.
The British football changed continuously when it spread to other countries. Different forms of rugby also created by many other countries, like the United States, Canada and Australia. However, there existed many differences, such as the venue, equipment, rules, clothing, participate numbers and the size of the ball, also the play methods. It could be, roughly, sorted into two kinds; British Rugby (also called soft football) and American football (also called the hard football). Its different styles and play methods won themselves the interesting nicknames. and American football was called "A barbarian plays the savage sport".
Rugby was called the hard football, because the players didn't wear guards in a competition. Rugby was a little bigger than American football, thus the ball could not be as easily passed as the ball in American.
Rugby could provide the military training with much assistance, particularly in physical training. Because rugby game required the team spirit of tenaciously combat to win. Therefore, this sport was greatly extended in the army with its popularity. For this reason, rugby won the "ball of army" reputation in western countries. Nowadays, some of the individual universities also have their good rugby teams in China.
Rugby has been criticized as an exercise of violence. Because when you compare rugby with some sports, such as basketball, soccer and other popular sports in United States, many violent collisions would be actually happen. Grapping-rugby is banned in many American campuses, so it has been changed into the style of touch the ball with hands. Most of physical education all adopt the grapping method. However, after school, they would like to play the ball with both hands as an alternative method under the prerequisite of right equipment and guidance. In addition, the intense body collision and high risk would put pressure on women, so it is unable to attract women. Women always have high risk in competitions because of the insufficiency of muscles and weights. The balls which need grip give the strong and quick players more advantages. The various factors we discussed above has risen disputes and has made rugby as an violence movement with dodge ball, wresting, hockey and boxing over the past decades.
