well see Rugby is a lot like football there is a kickoff but you punt it to the other team and you run up the Field until you get tackled and then you give the ball to a team mate and the pitch it to one of the wings and at this point they can kick it up Field or run up Field or pitch it back to the other wing (there are 3 wings) and if there is a penalty the stop the play and they kinda get in a blocking formation (like in football were the line protects the quarterback this is called a scrum and like football if you pass the goal line you get a try (touchdown) and you get a conversion which like a PAT in football but is worth 2 and you kick off again but if there is a penalty and your kicker can kick real far you can instead of a scrum can kick a Field goal which like football is worth 3 and there are 15 players on the Field and that's rugby and just like football there are offsides until the ball is picked up you must not pass the line of scrimmage so get some friends and play rugby.

Who invemted rugby and when?
Rugby like sports can be traced back to Ancient Greece and Middle Age England.However, the codification and rules of rugby were invented, after a young man at Rugby School broke the rules on the school's form of football. The school permitted handling the ball, but not running with the ball in hand, and this young man broke this rule by running with the ball in hand. This was in 1823.During the Victorian era in Britain, it was decided to write official rules for sports, which until that time had varied rules in different areas.It was the pupils at Rugby School who wrote the official rules for rugby in 1845, based on the game the school 'invented' when the pupil who had run with the ball in his hands on that day in 1823, and that's how the sport of rugby was invented (and also got its name).That young pupil was called William Webb Ellis and the Rugby Union World Cup trophy is named after him.The Rugby Football Union was formed in 1871 and the previous year had seen the rules written by Rugby School made the official rules of rugby.In 1895, there was a split in the Rugby Football Union, and a new code of rugby was devised called Rugby League.
