Rugby Commemorative Book: Fascinating Facts
Rugby football refers to sports descendent from a common form of football developed at Rugby school. The two major sports are rugby league and rugby union.
Rugby league is played both as a professional and amateur sport in some regions of Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Semi-professional and amateur rugby league tournaments take place in France, Russia and some Pacific Island nations. The only country where rugby league has a truly national identity is Papua New Guinea, where indeed it is regarded as the national sport. (For further information see: list of international rugby league teams.)
Ten "major" unions dominate rugby union: Argentina, Australia, England, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Wales. Rugby union is a major sport played nationwide in each of these countries and is the national sport in each of New Zealand, South Africa and Wales.
Numerous "minor" unions include Canada, Fiji, Georgia, Japan, Namibia, Romania, Samoa, Spain, Tonga, United States and Uruguay. (For further details see: list of international rugby union teams.) Rugby Union ranks as the national sport of Wales, of New Zealand, of South Africa and of Pacific countries such as Tonga, Fiji and Samoa.
An old saying goes "soccer is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen (and also women)." In most rugby-playing countries, rugby union is widely regarded as an establishment sport: most private schools and grammar schools play rugby union. By contrast, rugby league has traditionally the reputation of a working class pursuit. Despite these traditional images, the players and spectators of both games come from diverse backgrounds, perhaps more so in New Zealand than elsewhere.
Because of the nature of the games (almost unlimited body contact with little or no padding), the rugby world frowns on unsporting behaviour, since even a slight infringement of the rules may lead to serious injury or even death. Because of this, governing bodies enforce the rules strictly.
