Rugby was born in England. In English the game is called "rugby football". In the middle ages in England, a huge popular ball game. However, in those days it was much different from today, football and Rugby. The ball drove through the city streets and country roads of a huge crowd of people without any rules. It was caught, thrown, kicked, did everything to get to the enemy. And they did it selflessly, that was the reason a single witness-the French to write: "If the British with such selflessness indulge in this sport, then here's a scary thought about how they are doing serious business." Naturally, such "matches" usually ended in a General brawl. In the time of Edward II, Richard II and Edward III issued strict laws against the "football crowd", as they called this game as it is, in the opinion of the kings, the commotion and distracted the subjects from other classes. But gradually, the game consisted in a more or less organized framework and is firmly established in English schools, but played by its rules, which created difficulties in meeting teams from various educational institutions. 7 APR 1823, it was memorable for the history of the sport, when it comes to the field of the College town of Rugby on the anniversary of the victory at Waterloo a sixteen year old student William Webb Ellis (William Webb Ellis) seized the ball in his hands and rushed with him to the "city" rivals. It was a breach of the rules, the ball could only throw, but it was the impetus to the emergence of new games. And still the pride of the city in addition to Rugby, the highest in England the tower is a plaque on the wall of the College with the text: "Let this plaque recalls the glorious deeds of William Webb Ellis, the first who dared to break the rules, grabbed the ball with his hands and ran with it. So there was a Rugby game in 1823". Ellis also became the first man who attempted to enter the game in an organized way. For example, he limited the number of players in the team to ten people. And the first rules of Rugby were published in 1846. However, there was still a lot of opponents with his legs and hands. One was behind the game with the legs, other for game only hands. These disputes lasted until the 26th of October, 1863, when on a stormy meeting at the London tavern "Free man" there was a complete separation of supporters of football and Rugby. Nevertheless, in the first rules of football still allows the grips of the player with the ball and even hitting the legs below the knee. For this reason they even had written: "Men should play only such games that are accustomed to danger and pain." Until 1869, the players were allowed to catch the ball with his hands. Throw the ball out of the football with your hands, obviously, the last echo of the time. In 1871 was created the Union of Rugby football (Rugby Football Union), which United twenty one English club. He also composed the official rules of the game. In 1873, there was a Rugby Union Scotland (Scottish Rugby Union), in 1875 - the Irish Union. In 1890, they merged into the international Rugby Board (International Rugby Football Board), which later became the former British dominions - Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. There is still Rugby is the number one sport. Gradually the game spread to other countries, on other continents. In 1934 was created by the international Amateur Rugby Federation (FIRA).
My favorite movie "Kate & Leopold". This is a touching story of how a young aristocrat from the early 20th century is by chance transported into the future in our time and meets with Kate. From the very beginning the film captures and makes watching the screen to share the adventure. Fits well as a Leo in our time, with his aristocratic upbringing and manners. It's just the perfect image of the Prince, which is a dream girl at all times. Of course, at first it seems strange to people who have to communicate with him, but as the story unfolds, he finds more and more friends. After all, it is not possible not to love and not to respect a man who can be honest, does not recognize any cheat, knows how to be polite and able to fend for themselves and if necessary to protect his friends. This role superbly played by a fine actor Hugh Jackman. Not inferior to him on the credibility and actress Meg Ryan, who created the role of Kate. She very accurately portrayed a normal girl, living in a big city and accustomed to the fact that sometimes you have to be able to show your claws, if you have faced with rudeness and indifference. Such films as"Kate & Leopold" is undoubtedly the right, and always give us many beautiful moments, learn to appreciate the love and friendship and taught to believe that miracles happen not only in fairy tale but in real life, and that the greatest miracle is love.
