There has been some discussion over this. However, Rugby is not the parent sport of football. The name football originated from Europe, and the sport was invented by a very smart person!

How many killed by rugby compared with American football?

I'm not sure of precise figures on either sport, however I do know that it is VERY rare that a Rugby player will die from injuries sustained during a match. Many player's careers have been ended due to broken bones etc. But in my years of being a rugby fan I can't remember one death. That's not saying there haven't been any, but it is a rarity.


When was Rugby the sport invented?

I'm pretty sure it was in the 1800s sometime. The story goes that some folk were playing football or soccer, and one guy picked the ball up, ran through everyone and placed it down over the line. And he says he learned to that in Ireland.
