EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the England XV Rugby Team in action during their historic match against Yorkshire in the late 1890s. The team, composed of some of the most famous footballers of the era, includes the likes of Falcon, Finlinson, Thomas, Greenwell, Steele, Davidson, Fegan, Poole, Taylor, Saville, Gorton, Byrne, Baker, Murfitt, and Cattell. Dressed in their rugby uniforms and donning their distinctive caps, these sportsmen display a fierce determination and focus as they prepare for the challenge ahead. Rugby football, or simply rugby, was a popular sport in Britain during the late 19th century, and the England XV team was one of the most successful and respected sides in the country. The team's members were all amateur athletes, drawn from the ranks of public schools and universities, and they played the game with a passion and skill that earned them a devoted following. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is believed to have been taken between 1895 and 1896. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of rugby football during a time when the sport was still in its infancy and was undergoing rapid development. The England XV Rugby Team's encounter with Yorkshire was undoubtedly an important fixture on the rugby calendar, and this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and excitement of the game. The team members' intense concentration and unwavering commitment to their sport make for a compelling and evocative image that continues to captivate and inspire rugby fans to this day.
