History of Rugby in England

Introduction
During the nineteenth century, a game was developed among the England
private schools; that game is a mixture of ability , knowledge and sagacity .It is
known as rugby ,however the History of rugby in England is considered since
1823,when a college student of Rugby city , Webb Ellis picked a ball with his
hands while playing football , after this his opponents tried to overthrow him
to get the ball, this student didnt like the rules because were directed to
football soccer, and with that achievement created the first game incident that
later would be called rugby.
First paragraph
The international Rugby board or world Rugby organization was founded in
1886 and it is fundamental for the development of rugby in England, this
organization has been a regulator and an investor of Rugby, it has successfully
steered the growth and development of the game, on the other hand, they are
the highest authority since the game exists.
Second paragraph
Although Rugby has been a strong game, where rarely the players fight
between themselves for banal reasons in the game ,the history of this sport in
England indicates that is not necessary a tussle because is a game , for
instance ,in 1991 where Scotland lost to England , after the match, They went
to celebrate drinking some beer because for them is more important friendship
and history than winning the game , all this shows that the rugby is a beasts
game played by gentleman and thus exhibits the passion of the game .

Third Paragraph
The Premiership is the highest official England rugby competition. This
Competition was first played in 1987. Until 1972, the authority of Rugby in
England resisted the creation of a league because it was believed that the
league would increase the "dirty tricks" and put pressure on clubs, therefore it
would be damaged with the amateur spirit of the game. Instead, organized
county cups their own friendly games and had traditional matches. The only
tournaments were organized County cups and the County Championship, which
at first they were played by clubs and later county selections and so rugby
championships began in England and later integrate different people of
different genders.

Conclusion
Rugby is valued as a sport for men and women, boys and girls. It builds
teamwork, understanding, co-operation and respect for fellow athletes. Its
cornerstones are, as they always have been: the pleasure of participating; the
courage and skill which the Game demands; the love of a sport team that
enriches the lives of all involved; and the lifelong friendships forged through a
shared interest in the Game. It is because of Rugbys intensely physical and
athletic characteristics that such great camaraderie exists before and after
matches. The long standing tradition of players from competing teams enjoying
each others company away from the pitch and in a social context, remains at
the very core of the Game.
