The sport that I like to play the most is rugby.I always play it every evening with my friends in the hostel and we played at rugby field.I started to play this sport when I am at Form One when the senior at that time called all the Form One batch to learn the basics of playing rugby.From that time,I am getting to like the sport more.
Rugby is a very fun sport to play even you will get some injury during or after the game.When you had tackle one of your opponents,you can feel the satisfaction in yourself.This game also needs intelligence to win a match. So not only the big-sized player can win,but also the small-sized ones.
The history of rugby is originated from an incident in 1823 when a man named William Webb-Ellis picked up the ball in a football game and run with it.Because of the accidental origin from him,the first World Cup trophy was named before him.The first football were written by Rugby School pupils.
New Zealand is the best rugby team in the world but they have other talented
opponents like South Africa,Australia,Wales and Fiji.Rugby union is played in 100 continents around the world and there are 118 by the year 2011.
The first rugby World cup was held in 1987,and the winner will receive the Webb-Ellis cup.It is held once in every four years.
