Quote 5. Rugby
While something resembling rugby can be traced back to Ancient Greek and Roman times, the game which developed into what we now recognise as rugby union first became popular at England's Rugby School. The story (possibly untrue, but widely accepted) goes that in 1823 a student called William Webb Ellis picked the ball up during a football match and ran with it, thus inventing the basic premise of the sport.
The first official international rugby match took place in 1871, played between England and Scotland. Rugby league, a variation on the sport, was created in France in 1934. '"

Quote YOUR COMPLAINT:
Complaint Summary: Factual inaccuracy and lazy/shoddy journalism
Full Complaint: In the article "7 Amazing Sports Invented in the UK" you incorrectly claim that " Rugby league, a variation on the sport, was created in France in 1934". This is either deliberately claimed so as to act as click bait, or was written by a 3 year old with no hint of post production editing or checking! A simple search of google would have yielded the fact that Rugby league originated in Northern England in 1895. The French Rugby League was formed on 6 April 1934, so maybe your article was written by a 3 year old French child?

The first official international rugby match took place in 1871, played between England and Scotland. Rugby league, a variation on the sport, dates back to an 1895 split from the established Rugby Union”
