[{"role": "system", "content": "Rugby football usually refers to rugby union or sometimes rugby league, which are both team sports, rugby union originating at Rugby School in Rugby, Warwickshire, and rugby league originating in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire after splitting and forming the Northern Union in 1896 (what is now known as rugby league). Rugby football (both league and union) is one of many versions of football played at English public schools in the 19th century, along with association football.. Although rugby league initially used rugby union rules, they are now wholly separate sports. In addition to the two existing codes, both codes of Gridiron football (American football and Canadian football) have evolved from rugby football, but themselves also completely different sports altogether. Following the 1895 split in rugby football, the two forms rugby league and rugby union differed in administration only. Soon the rules of rugby league were modified, resulting in two distinctly different forms of rugby. After 100 years, in 1995 rugby union joined rugby league and most other forms of football as an openly professional sport. The Greeks and Romans are known to have played many ball games, some of which involved the use of the feet.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Rugby football is very different from American football."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, it was one of the versions that students would play in English public schools back in the 19th century."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh wow, that's interesting.
