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.
