http://portablefilmfestival.com - William Webb Ellis was the first person to try and grab the ball and run with it, creating the basic principle of rugby. That's the true story...
This video is factually wrong in almost everything.
William Webb Ellis wasn't the first person to pick the ball up in a game of football (Soccer) as neither soccer or rugby had evolved from folk football.
This myth was voted second on the all time world sporting myths, just behind the dude who was supposed to have invented Gridiron.
That the rugby union called their world cup after him shows how dill brained they are.
