Why has the William Webb Ellis rugby myth endured for so long over the factual Maori contribution to rugby origination?
Deeks
It is formally recorded that during a game of soccer (then football) William Web Ellis in the normal manner collected the ball in his hand. At that time handling the ball was legal as long as the carrier retreated back to their own players to make a pass. Web Ellis ran forward. This was unusual but the idea caught on. The game in 1823 was nothing like we have today in either football of Rugby. The game itself was formulated 30 years later in London with 15 clubs including wasps and Blackheath who still play today. The game union convened and was called The Rugby Football Union. After this time many post graduates and people having been to public schools and the armed forces in the Britain took the idea to the Southern Hemisphere. Where it caught on and like the rest of the world has developed.
