RUGBY UNION
The sport of rugby is largely believed to have been 'invented' back in 1823 at the Rugby school in England, when during a soccer game a young rebel by the name of William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran.
Whether this story is indeed true or whether the story is a work of fiction, there is no disputing that the direct descendant of the game is one of the largest in the world, and the William Webb Ellis Cup is the trophy that every rugby union player dreams of holding aloft after winning the Rugby World Cup.
