How Rugby Got Out of Football
In football games played at the Rugby School between 1750 and 1859, hand-throwing was allowed, but no player was allowed to run with the ball toward his opponent’s goal. The number of players on each team was not fixed, and sometimes hundreds of people participated in a sort of huge rolling mall. Often in this game players got serious injuries. Running with the ball originated sometime between 1859 and 1865.
William Bev Ellis is credited with breaking local rules by running to the front with the ball in 1823. A few days later, written rules were made for this game, which was earlier played on the basis of local mutual agreement. The boys of the Rugby School created the first written rules for their game in 1870, and rugby may have begun.

Rugby sevens is a format that can be played on a field of the same size, but due to the presence of fewer players, there are faster runs, more running, more tackles and more effort. Fifteen-every side games consist of two 40-minute halves, while Olympic Games have seven matches consisting of 14 minutes, consisting of two seven-minute halves.
