Many of these form's of rugby had most of the rules included like scrimmaging and handling the ball and passing backwards.some of the countriesd that played these sports at such an early time included New Zealand who had their own game called kio Rahi which was invented by the indigenous maoiri tribes.Many other countries had their own ancient versions like Australia Marn grook, Japans Kemari, Georgia s lelo burti and irelsands cairn which is an ancientver4sion of GAAbrought by the Celts to Ireland.

Rugby union has been a long tradition in the united kingdom and versions of rugby has been played long before three boys produced the first rule book in 1845 in the rugby school. The first time that the game of rugby was said to be discovered was at the school of rugby in 1816 by a 17 year old boy William Web Ellis. hence why the rugby world cup trophy is called the Web Ellis trophy.But the first rugby world cup was not played until 1987.
