Rugby originated in 1823, when a student at a prestigious school in the town of Rugby in England picked up the ball with his hands during a game of football and ran. As the students started to play this form of 'football' more and more frequently, they invented the rules that are still followed to this day.

Rugby is a sport played by two teams of 15 players with a ball shaped like a big egg. They score points by kicking the ball over a high bar, which is like a giant letter H. Players also score points by putting the ball down over the goal line. This is called a ay.

Today rugby is more popular than football in some parts of the world. The most important international teams are Argentina, Australia, South Africa, England, France, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales. These and other teams compete for the Rugby World Cup every four years.

Rugby is also played in Spain, and there are 200 clubs and 17,000 players around the country. Rugby is the favourite sport of Javier Bardem and, when he was younger, the actor played for Spain's national side.
