Rugby School, located in the town of Rugby in Warwickshire, is one of the oldest public schools in the United Kingdom and is perhaps the leading co-educational boarding school in the country.
Rugby School was founded in 1567 as a provision in the will of a certain Lawrence Sheriff who had made his fortune supplying groceries to Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Since Lawrence Sheriff lived in Rugby, the school was intended to be a free grammar school for the boys of that town.
We have a page called rugby football another called rugby union and another called history of rugby union and another called rugby league, there is inevitably going to be some crossover in these articles.
I would be quite happy for History of Rugby Football to be merged into Rugby Football; I would not be happy for the pre-schism history of rugby league to be on History of rugby union.
Given that the Rugby Union World Cup seems to be the third most popular sporting event after the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup, maybe the article could state that at the national levels, Rugby Union is more popular, while the popularity of professional club teams depends on the location (if this statement is true).
