The cup that is won at the end of a Rugby world cup final is called The "Webb-Ellis Cup" Which is named after the great rugby player and the founder of rugby William Webb-Ellis. Some Biographist wrote "Whilst playing football, William caught the ball up in his arms, and instead of retiring back or punting forward, he rushed forward with the ball in his hands." This was at Rugby School and was the birthplace of the game.
