On 5 December 1887, committee members of the Irish Rugby Union, Scottish Rugby Union and Welsh Rugby Union met in Manchester and wrote up the first four principles of the International Rugby Football Board. However, England refused to take part in the founding meeting of the IRFB, because they felt that they have more play registered clubs and therefore should have greater representation. Basically they wanted more power whilst that other country was equality. In 1890 England joined the IRFB, gaining six seats while the other unions had two each. The main rules of the game were then formalised.
