What country invented rugby league?

Answer 1

The game was first brought to light by William Webb-Ellis, who when playing football, "picked up the ball" and so the game of Rugby was formed (or so the story goes), in a market town in Warwickshire, in the West Midlands of England. The school which he was playing in is now a large private school with excellent grounds and sought after places.

Answer 2

it was the Japanese

No, actually rugby is of English descent as far as we know, and is named after the town in which it originated. While difficult to establish for certain, William Ellis is believed to be its creator, when during a traditional football match in the early 1820s, he grew frustrated with the pace of play and picked the ball up with his hands and ran toward the goal line. American football is a direct descendant of rugby, and the term "touchdown" is derived from the rule in rugby which requires the scorer to physically touch the ball down in the "try zone." No touch, no score.

Answer 3

The game developed in public schools (actually paid for and elitist) in the UK, during the the middle of the the 19th century. The legend, emphasis on LEGEND!, is that William Webb Ellis picked up the ball during a game of football at Rugby school - not true!!!! It has to have been a gradual developement, but was certainly a separate sport by the 1870's
