EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the England International Rugby Team in 1895, at the height of the Victorian era, as they prepared to take on their arch-rivals, Scotland. The team, composed of 15 distinguished gentlemen, includes the likes of Finlinson, Byrne, Thomas, Mitchell, Carey, Thomson, Dobson, Tucker, Cattell, Bromet, Woods (Captain), Taylor, Poole, Fegan, and Baker. The image exudes an air of determination and camaraderie, with each player exchanging knowing glances and displaying their rugged, athletic physiques. The team's uniforms, consisting of simple white shirts and black shorts, add to the raw, unpretentious charm of the era. Rugby football had already gained significant popularity in England by the late 1890s, with international matches against Scotland being a highly anticipated annual event. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a tangible connection to the history of the sport and the men who helped shape it. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and sportsmanship that has defined rugby for over a century. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the passion, dedication, and sheer grit of these early rugby pioneers.
