Why did the founding Rugby League clubs meet in Huddersfield in 1895 and not in one of the other towns from which the 21 clubs hailed?
The history of rugby union follows from various football games played long before the 19th century, but it was not until the middle of that century that rules were formulated and codified. The code of football later known as rugby union can be traced to three events: the first set of written rules in 1845, the Blackheath Club's decision to leave the Football Association in 1863 and the formation of the Rugby Football Union in 1871. The code was originally known simply as "rugby football." It was not until a schism in 1895, over the payment of players, which resulted in the formation of the separate code of rugby league, that the name "rugby union" was used to differentiate the original rugby code. For most of its history rugby was a strictly amateur football code, and the sport's administrators frequently imposed bans and restrictions on players who they viewed as professional. It was not until 1995 that rugby union was declared an "open" game, and thus professionalism was sanctioned by the code's governing body - the International Rugby Board.

Why has the William Webb Ellis rugby myth endured for so long over the factual Maori contribution to rugby origination?
It is formally recorded that during a game of soccer (then football) William Web Ellis in the normal manner collected the ball in his hand. At that time handling the ball was legal as long as the carrier retreated back to their own players to make a pass. Web Ellis ran forward. This was unusual but the idea caught on. The game in 1823 was nothing like we have today in either football of rugby. The game itself was formulated 30 years later in London with 15 clubs including wasps and Blackheath who still play today. The game union convened and was called The Rugby Football Union. After this time many post graduates and people having been to public schools and the armed forces in the Britain took the idea to the southern hemisphere. Where it caught on and like the rest of the world has developed.
