    Sam Tomkins to play for Barbarians

    The RFU don't own any union clubs so why would they buy rugby clubs? Not that anybody would support those clubs even if they did.

    Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

    Nobody plays the game as codified by the RFU at the time either. So the union ban for 100 years on professional rugby players was fraudulent?

    Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

    The Rugby School rules as written and published was the first rugby code but nobody plays that anymore. Rugby and Union both draw on those rules but neither is played to those rules.

    Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

    According to your theory that the first organisation to codify the rules has first rights then Rugby School has first rights. However your theory is incorrect.

    Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

    The first of the codes was the game first codified, written down and published at Rugby School. Both rugby and union are variations on that game. I am not sure why you keep banging on about the Northern Union clubs briefly using the RFU rules. It is clear to any rational, sensible, person that...

The work was undertaken by three senior pupils at Rugby School (William Arnold, W W Shirley and Frederick Hutchins) - 37 rules were submitted and a...

    The Rugby School pupils standardised the rules too. The Northern union clubs briefly used the rules the RFU played to before improving on them however the name of the game comes from Rugby School not the RFU so you argument is nonsense.

    Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

    So were the pupils at Rugby School years before the RFU were formed yet that, conveniently, doesn't seem to carry much weight for you. It's just a fact that both rugby and union can trace their lineage directly back to the game played at Rugby School and neither rugby nor union can claim any...

    Why do people call RU, 'rugby'??

    The Rugby School pupils drew up the first codified set of rules. if you wish to rewrite history in an attempt to prove your ridiculous argument at least try to do so intelligently.
