'''Rugby''' was derived in [[England]] at around the same time as Soccer, initially at [[Rugby School]]. This version uses an elliptical ball with the main aim being to ground the ball over the opponents' goal line to score a try. Kicking and passing are permitted, but all passes must be backward. There are two versions of the sport, [[Rugby Union]] and [[Rugby League]]. Each uses a different numbers of players and slightly different rules. Rugby is popular in the [[U.K.]], [[France]], [[Ireland]], [[Australia]], [[South Africa]], [[New Zealand]] and throughout the South Pacific. The ultimate competition for this sport is the [[Rugby World Cup]] held every four years.

Unlike in American football, rugby and Australian rules football players wear minimal padding and accept that the risk of serious injury is part of sports. [[User:Sylvain|Sylvain]] 00:22, 3 May 2012 (EDT)
