Just a thought

It was Barra. if he had kicked it it would have been union.

i actually laughed Big Fella, cheers for that the boss what to know whats so funny

Big Fella .... you forgot to add ..... if he'd have kicked it then all the lads fell on top of each other, pushing and shoving ... then it'd have been union .... (or a new George Michael video) .....

They say it was for the money that players back then changed codes....I beg to differ, I'd suggest it was the ability to run more with the ball that encouraged a lot of them to come across along with the money as well of course......back to the origonal question re; Webb-Ellis picking up the ball......I've always been led to believe it was in fact the beginning of rugby league....cheers.
