Best Answer

The Rugby Football Union was created when a group of clubs decided they did not want to be part of the Football Association (UK) These clubs formed their own UNION and allowed others to join. Thereafter the game formed its main body the IRB. In the late 1800s when the game was formalised it did not require anyone to allow it to start i.e. a Government or Governments Department
