EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Irish International Rugby Team in 1895, as they prepared to take on Scotland in a highly anticipated match during the Victorian era. The team, composed of some of the most renowned footballers of the time, includes the likes of Thompson, McCluskey, Reid, Scott, Alexander, McAteer (Trainer), Brown, Crawford, Wright, M Clutchey, Thompson, Clugston, Morrison, Sherrard, Stanfield, Gibson, Mckee, Barron, and Ponsonby. The team's determination and focus are palpable as they huddle together, their expressions conveying a sense of unity and camaraderie. McAteer, the team trainer, stands proudly among them, his presence a testament to the importance of physical preparation in the sport. Rugby football was a popular pastime in the late 1800s, and international matches between teams from different countries were highly anticipated events. The Irish team, with its impressive roster of players, was known for its skill and tenacity on the field. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Victorian sports and the men who played them. The team's uniforms, with their high collars and baggy shorts, are a stark contrast to the sleek, modern kits worn by rugby players today. Yet, despite the differences in appearance, the passion and dedication of these athletes remain timeless.
