EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Waterloo XV rugby team in action during a training session in 1950. The team, composed of thirteen players and three substitutes, is seen gathered around a rugby ball on a muddy field. In the foreground, George Hurst is seen lying prone, presumably after making a tackle or being brought down by an opponent. Behind him, teammates John Tanner, David Breese, and Leslie Thompson stand ready to enter the fray. In the back row, from left to right, are Jim Bartlett, Ian Stempton, Jack Hurst, Reg Cottom, Eric Bole, George Rimmer, and Richard Uren. Seated on the ground are Bill Cartmell, Eric Marsden, and John Hill. Each player wears the distinctive Waterloo XV jersey, with the team crest emblazoned on the chest. The image captures the intensity and focus of the team, as they prepare for their next play. Rugby football, also known as simply rugby, is a contact sport that originated in England in the late 19th century. It is played between two teams of fifteen players each, who score points by carrying or kicking a ball across the opposing team's goal line. The sport requires strength, agility, and teamwork, and is known for its physicality and intensity. The Waterloo XV team, based in Waterloo, New South Wales, Australia, was a formidable force in the rugby scene during the 1950s, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into their training regimen and camaraderie.
