Rugby is a style of football that developed at Rugby School during the 19th century. The sport was one of many versions of football played at English public schools at this time. The two main types of rugby are Rugby League and Rugby Union. These two forms share the same objective of getting the ball over the line to score a try, however, the specific rules are different, and they are considered two separate sports.

Overall, rugby is one of the most followed sports in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. The sport is action packed and filled with adrenaline, and so it is unsurprising that it has also given us some of the most powerful, inspirational and unique sports personalities. Rugby League is both a professional and amateur game, administered on a global level by the Rugby League International Federation. There are two major professional competitions; the Australasian National Rugby League and the European Super League. Rugby Union is likewise both a professional and amateur game and is dominated by the first tier unions, administered by the International Rugby Board (IRB). It is the national sport in New Zealand, Wales, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Madagascar, and is the most popular form of rugby globally.
