Originally around 1823 when the game first started off and was not formalised the game was played in Rugby School. Teams here were often uneven and contained as many as 80 players on one side and 40 on another, When the game was formalised in 1863 there were 20 a side allocated this was then reduced to 15 a side for union - When the Northern UK clubs spilt from the Union to form the Rugby league these people dropped the position of the 2 flankers making a team of 13 on the pitch at one time
