The history of the oval rugby ball
In 1823, during a game of football at Rugby College in England, the ball had become too deflated to be played by foot. A pump, you may ask? Well no, not that day!
A schoolboy, William Webb Ellis, took him under his arm and led him into goal. Everyone found it amusing: rugby was born. And it’s still played with an oval ball!
God bless rugby ! And Karkoa, Of course !
