	History - Rugby Lions
		All the Rugby School Houses have their emblems and the red lion is that of Town House, the one to which local boys were allocated.
		If Rugby School’s senior boys had anything to do with the origins of a local club Town House boys would seem to be the most likely candidates and they would probably have been wearing their House jerseys; school masters may also have been involved, as was the case in later years.
		The influence of Rugby School was felt in the mid 1890s when L J Percival, son of the Head Master of the time and already an England International, took over the captaincy of the Lions and attracted some equally good players into the side, including Scottish International H T S Gedge.

	History of Rugby
		The much revered tale of how in 1823 the young Rugby School student, William Webb Ellis, "in a fine disregard for the rules" picked up the ball and ran with it in a defining moment in sports history is now accepted by sports historians as being fanciful and a gross distortion of what is known.
		There is no doubt that Ellis was a student at Rugby School from 1816 to 1825, but he was never mentioned by anyone as having done the actual deed ascribed to him.
		What is known is that at Rugby School by the 1830's running with the ball was in common use, the goal posts had been extended to 18 feet high (with a cross-bar at 10 feet above the ground) and there were forms of scrummaging and line-outs.

	International Rugby Football
		This private boys school still cherishes the game which is now known as union to differentiate it from other modern forms of the sport and since its inception it has become a favorite and been practiced by boys at private boarding schools throughout Britain and its former colonies.
		For a game that began life in Britain at a private English school for boys rugby has spread all over the world where it is cherished and loved by people in hundreds of different countries and this means that international rugby union has established itself as one of the most popular games on the planet.
		Rugby Union retains rules and a style of play that is closest to the original game invented at Rugby School in England in the 1700s and this accounts for much of its attraction today.
