	Rugby Union history Australia
		These were quite impressive achievements considering that four of Australia's six states have no professional rugby team and that union runs a distant second to rugby league in the two Australian states that play union.
		Officially, the distinctive feature of rugby union was invented in 1823 when a schoolboy named William Webb Ellis showed a "fine disregard" for the rules of the day by picking up the ball and running with it.
