History of football and rugby

Now that the Football World Cup is ending soon, I look forward to another World Cup in December, of the rugby type. History has it that football and rugby were closely intertwined in the beginning. They were one and the same and it was undecided then how exactly it should be played. It took a show of hands at a meeting before football as we know it now won. The losing group then went on their own and called their game rugby. That's how football and rugby came into being.
