RUGBY

Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. It is commonly referred to the activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determinant of the outcome, it can be either winning or losing. And my favorite sport is RUGBY. It is a competitive outdoor sport, played with an oval ball, by two teams of 15 players. There are different forms of Rugby being played across the world, they are rugby football, rugby league and the other being rugby sevens which is played under modified laws. It has its origin from the from the famous incident when William Webb-Ellis (fame football player) picked up a soccer ball, during a game of football in 1823 and ran with it, at Rugby School, England. Since then this game found it place in the world of sports as it entertained wide range of people.
