RUGBY

Se cree que el rugby comenzó a jugarse en el colegio Rugby de Inglaterra en 1823. Sin embargo, cuando la Rugby Football Union estableció las reglas de este deporte, el juego profesional quedó prohibido, por lo que un grupo decidió formar el Rugby League, lo que dio origen a dos tipos distintos de rugby. El Rugby League se juega con 13 jugadores por equipo, tiene sus propias reglas y sistema de tanteo y sus jugadores pueden ser profesionales. Se juega sobre todo en el norte de Inglaterra y Australia.

Por su parte, el Rugby Union se juega con equipos compuestos por 15 jugadores y es un deporte muy popular en todo el mundo. El carácter amateur de esta versión del rugby se mantuvo hasta 1995, año en que la Federación Internacional de este deporte (International Rugby Board) decidió permitir que los jugadores y directivos pudiesen cobrar. Como deporte escolar en el Reino Unido, el rugby es frecuente en los colegios privados, mientras que, en los colegios públicos, el fútbol es el deporte más extendido.
