      Forms for different football have  existed from many years ago like from 1800's in England.In some football schools played a similar game like playing it only with feet,but there was another school the Rugby school which started using hands as well.In 1862, the official rules  were initially agreed on and documented.In 1871, the Rugby Football Union was formed with 21 clubs and this was the official start of what is now known as Rugby Union Football.The precise date and how Rugby's game developed differently is not really known.Hope you get a good idea how Rugby started.

        It is known that in 1823 rugby was invented by a young player, William Webb Ellis. He picked the ball and ran with it while playing football at Rugby school.
