Sports book - The great book of Rugby - EPA Edition

It was in 1823 that a young man named William Webb Ellis had the great idea, during a game of "football", to take the ball with his hands on a college field in the town of Rugby, England, and thus "invent" a sport. It is a fantastic adventure that we tell you here, from the first improvised matches in English colleges to the formidable World Cup, from the first final of the French championship, in 1892, to the spectacular Top 14, from the first British matches to the major modern competitions, from the first champions of the 20th century to the global stars of today. Rugby is a little more than a sport: it is a culture, a fraternity, an art of living. A spirit, to put it bluntly.Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
