6 – Les débuts du rugby
Au cours du 19ème siècle, le rugby se développe d’abord au sein des îles Britanniques, grâce à l’adoption des règles du rugby par de nombreux collèges et écoles. Ce jeu se propage des collèges et universités vers le monde entier grâce au soutien actif apporté par les missionnaires, marchands, fonctionnaires, soldats et marins.
Voici quelques dates à retenir concernant l’évolution du rugby durant le 19ème siècle :
– 1839 : Création d’une équipe de football à Cambridge par Arthur Pell, membre de l’Old Rugbeian Society. Selon la légende, une équipe aurait été créée au club Barnette RFC à Londres ;
– 1843 : Selon des récits non confirmés, des étudiants en médecine auraient fondé un club de rugby au Guy’s Hospital ;
– 1850 : Sous l’influence du révérend Rowan Williams, les élèves du Lampeter College, au Pays de Galles, pratiquent le rugby. Dans le même temps, les étudiants de l’Université de Neuenheim, en Allemagne, commencent à jouer au rugby ;
– 1854 : Création du club Dublin University Football Club ;
– 1857 : Fondation du Liverpool Football Club ;
– 1858 : Création du Edimbourg Academicals Football Club
– 1860 : Création du Manchester United Football Club ;
– 1862 : H.H. Almond est nommé directeur de la Loretto School ;
– 1863 : Première de l’une des plus anciennes rencontres, opposant chaque année le club de Richmond à celui de Blackheayh. Création de la Football Association.
A l’initiative de F.M. Campbell, secrétaire du Blackheath, plusieurs clubs de rugby quittent, en signe de protestation, l’assemblée de la Football Association, favorables aux tacles. Ils conservent ainsi les pratiques codifiées du collège de Rugby.
