A sport popular in over 100 countries around the world, rugby is
said to have originated when William Webb Ellis 'with fine
disregard for the rules of football as played in his time at Rugby
school, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus
originating the distinctive feature of the Rugby game'. While the
popular story of the schoolboy William Webb Ellis going rogue is an
amusing anecdote, it is unlikely that the development of the game
was sourced from one youngster's actions. Written in 1922, The
Classic Guide to Rugby looks at the shape of the game after the
First World War. A firmly established and popular sport at the time
of writing, D. R. Gent, an ex-England international, tackles
differing types of play, the qualities of a good captain, the
temperament required to be a patient and fair referee, the spirit
of the game and rugby's position in future society.
