Rugby football history is very interesting and full of legends. It is traditionally considered that rugby appeared in the 19th century and there is an apocryphal version about the rugby invention and about the "father" of rugby. Though there is very little evidence in its favor this version is very popular because every sport has its mythology and legendary inventor. Besides, stories of this kind reflect the spirit of the game in a higher degree than actual history. Rugby football is extremely rich with such stories, anecdotes (e. g. about rugby rules, about the history of rugby union foundation, etc.). This one only makes it more attractive.

Don't think rugby demands quick thinking, fast feet and a solid body? Go ahead and play for an hour and THEN tell me how you feel. Rugby is a world-famous sport with its peculiar image, rules and culture. A great number of people in the whole world are engaged in rugby. Rugby football is an original mode of life; rugby culture is a sound way of thinking; a full rugby description would take volumes of printed pages. This phenomenon is very interesting and worth special attention.
