3 facts about rugby

 1. Did you know that 20 countries from around the world are participating the Rugby World Cup.

2. A "try" is so-called because the act of running over the line and touching the ball down originally carried no points and merely allowed the team to try for a kick at the goal.

3. Rugby balls are shaped the way they are because the original balls, made by a cobbler near Rugby School, were fashioned from pigs' bladders.
