White, James (25 de abril de 2015). «Inside the spiritual home of rugby where sport was born when William Webb Ellis first decided to pick up a football and run». Daily Mail (en inglés). «This stone commemorates the exploit of William Webb Ellis who with a fine disregard of the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and run with it thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game. A.D. 1823».

«Who Was William Webb Ellis?». England Rugby. Consultado el 22 de febrero de 2019. «Consequently Ellis’s actions (if they happened) were not responsible for changing the rules, and at best can only be seen as inspiration for subsequent ‘runners’. ... Mackie popularised the action in 1838/9 and the custom was officially legalised at Rugby School in 1842. Hughes also states “the Webb Ellis tradition had not survived” to his day (i.e. 1834, 12 years after the alleged Ellis incident) so it was obviously no influence on Mackie.»
