Following the establishment of the Football Association, clubs and schools who chose to use hands in soccer were relegated, which is why in 1871 it took the same path that the Football Association, and formed the Rugby Football Union and Rugby together with the Association Rugby Football Union. The new code of football was founded by 21 clubs in London: Blackheath (not only support the creation of the Football Association), Richmond, Ravenscourt Park, West Kent, Marlborough Nomads, Wimbledon Hornets, Gipsies, Civil Service, Law Club, Wellington College, Guy's Hospital, Flamingo, Clapham Rovers, Harlequin FC, King's College, St Paul's, Queen's House, Lausanne, Addison, Mohicans and Belsize Park. This code became known as Rugby.
The first encounter between rugby teams occurred in 1871, where Scotland beat England. In 1886 he founded the International Rugby Board, the governing body of world rugby.
The new code was similar to the football association, but allows players to use their hands. The origin involved 20 players per team, that number was reduced to 15 in 1875. The goal is to add more points than the opponent.

The resolutions are designed to sort the games, with estimates as not to leave the field during a match on alert day and time of the parties to the school with some anticipation, not playing more than two games per week and one of them always on Saturday, the responsibility of students to present the games, etc. .

Also includes a special case when the ball is touched (touched) between the two poles, in which case the ground kicking up a "try at goal", which must pass between two posts and the crossbar to be used (Rule V ). It allows the player to run with the ball, which has not always taken the ground or from the "touch" (Rule VIII). There are several rules dedicated to the "off side" and "touch" (limited lateral), showing concern for defining the playing field and prevent its continuation beyond. In Rule XXVII mentions the "scrummage (scrimmage), a term that derives from skirmish (skirmish) and that in modern rugby is called a mele or simply scrum, and Rule IV, the" knock on "when the ball falls out of hand, another rule of modern rugby.
