Rugby

Lots of people from New Zealand enjoy rugby. One of the reasons for this game's immense popularity is its similarity with soccer. Then it shouldn't surprise you that the game of rugby actually originated from soccer.

The whole story started with a fellow named William Ellis, who out of nowhere started to run with a ball in the middle of a soccer game. Despite the eccentricity of this action, it lingered with the audience and here we have a completely new game, called rugby. Rugby became so popular that it was even included in the Olympics four times. Another fun fact about rugby is that the national anthem was initially played in this very game. It is also worth noting that the highest number of points was scored in the game between New Zealand and Japan. It shouldn't be hard to guess which team won. All in all, rugby is worth trying out when you are starting out in betting. It is also suitable for advanced bettors, who have been enjoying sports betting for a much longer time.
