First there was soccer and then there was this one guy that was training outside in Spain along time ago. And he picked up the soccer ball and he started to run with it juke and etc. like that. Then he told some people and it became to be known as Rugby. And the Americans picked it up but instead of kicking the ball the Americans would tackle and throw the ball.
