	Scottish Rugby Union
		The SRU owns Murrayfield Stadium, which is the main home ground of the Scottish national team, though in 2004 international rugby games were played at Hampden Park in Glasgow and McDiarmid Park in Perth, as part of the SRU's campaign to reach out to new audiences outside the traditional rugby areas.
		However, the trophy for the Rugby Union World Cup is named "Webb Ellis" in his honour (as is Ellis Park in Johannesburg a major international rugby union stadium), and a plaque at the school commemorates the 'achievement'.
		Rugby union is a team sport that was developed from the rules used to play football at Rugby school in England.

		The Scottish Rugby Union (‘SRU’) is a professional organisation.

		FOSRS, as a body representing the views of supporters of all levels of Scottish rugby, will seek to ensure that its opinions on the direction in which the SRU is headed, and the way it is going there, are received and acted upon as appropriately by the relevant officers of the SRU.

		Although no one knows for sure, the game of Rugby Union is usually credited, some would say romantically, to William Webb Ellis who picked up the ball and ran with it whilst playing in a game of football at Rugby School in 1823.
		Rugby was then played under varying rules of the game until 1871 when the Rugby Football Union (RFU) was formed leading to a standardisation of the rules.
		In the 1890s there were tensions between the game of rugby played amongst working men in the north of England and those of the gentleman's game in the south, leading to the split in rugby and the formation of the Northern Rugby Football Union in 1895.
