The History of Rugby At Yale

The pictures you have of the v-trick are from the 1890s after Rugby Union and American Football split from each other. Rugby Football didn't come to the US until 1874 when Harvard played McGill.

dexter 69 It's where we get American Football from! Rugby has been here longer than our own sport. It was just that American Football took off faster and gained more popularity than Rugby did.

The Scrum (at least in my opinion) is the defining characteristic that not only separates Rugby from all other games, it is also the Scrum is also what makes Rugby "rugby". Which now leads me to my question: can anyone tell me the origins of and the history behind "The Scrum" as well as how it became formalized in the sport of Rugby??
