The Newport Rugby Team was renowned for its prowess on the field, with many of its members being local heroes and role models for the community. They represented the very best of Victorian athleticism and sportsmanship, embodying the spirit of competition and camaraderie that defined the era. Rugby football, a rough and challenging sport, required strength, agility, and a keen strategic mind.

The team's captain, Gould, stands proudly in the center, leading his teammates with unwavering determination and resolve. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of rugby football in Wales and the enduring legacy of the Newport Rugby Team. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the passion and dedication of these Victorian sportsmen and the impact they had on their community and the sport as a whole.
