Rick, "Rugby" is actually the name of a town near to Birmingham.
Also a famous Public School, where long ago, someone playing "footy" decided to pick up the ball and run with it. Rugby Union rules evolved from there.
It is, of course, possibly also "American Football" for REAL men who don't require several feet of padding between themselves and any potential physical contact.
Before anyone accuses me of anti-aussie sentiment, let me say here and now that the Aussies played bl**dy well in the championship, we nicked it in the last seconds of extra time.
Aussie team captain was exceptionally generous in defeat - worthy opponents.
