 rugby_union rugby htm union international football australia nations ball england cup - KnoliX.com
Rugby union is a team sport that was (according to legend) developed from the rules used to play football at Rugby School in England.
The legendary story about the origin of Rugby football, whereby a young man named William Webb Ellis "picked up the ball and ran" while playing football at Rugby School is almost certainly a complete fiction.
For the next few years rugby clubs continued to agree rules before the start of each game as they had always done, but on January 26, 1871, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) formed, leading to the standardisation of the rules for all clubs in England that played a variety of the Rugby School laws.

Rugby was only played as an amateur sport until 1995, when the IRFB passed a resolution allowing national governing bodies and local rugby clubs to pay their players.
No player on the team with possession of the ball is permitted to move downfield ahead of the ball, and any obstruction of a player not carrying the ball is a foul and is penalized.
In rugby the conversion kick is taken from anywhere on a line perpendicular to the goal line at the point that the ball was touched down.

 Australian court endorses Murdoch takeover of rugby league
Among the teams currently owned by Murdoch's company are Brisbane Broncos rugby league, Brisbane Bullets basketball, the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, and the LA Lakers and New York Knicks basketball teams.
The decision was followed by an angry demonstration of 80,000 rugby league football fans, which denounced the court ruling and what they saw as the takeover of their sport by the Murdoch-dominated Foxtel pay TV network, without any concern for those who participate in or support the game.
This was in accord with sports administration cases heard between 1958 and 1974, which found that while rugby league made a profit, the game was not organised for this purpose and any surpluses were reinvested in the sport.
