Why is rugby sometimes called football?

Rugby is a sport derived from football and is sometimes referred to as 'football' due to its similar rules. The sport originated in England in 1823, where it derived from football, but with more physical contact which made it stand out. Rugby is a fast-paced game, which is played by two teams of 15 players and is divided into two halves. The aim of the game is to score points by carrying, kicking or passing the ball across the opponents' try line. Rugby is also a popular team sport, which is played in many countries, as well as at a professional level.
