Then the pupil of Rugby School William Webb Ellis handled a ball and ran with it during a game of football. The first set of rules was set out in 1845. Since that time rugby has been played all over Britain. The standard game (Rugby Union) has been played by teams of 15. Rugby League is a different form of the game. There are 13 players and slightly different rules. The first international game was played in 1870. The Five Nations Cup was organised in the period between 1910 and 1999. Teams from England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales took part in it. In 2000, Italy joined the championship and now it is called the Six Nations Cup.
