A Glimpse into English Rugby History
The Beginnings:
In 1871, England played its first international match against Scotland, marking the start of a proud rugby tradition. Later, the introduction of the Four Nations Tournament in 1883, now the Six Nations, cemented England’s place in rugby history.
A Legendary Team of the 1920s:
In 1921, under the leadership of Dave Davies, England triumphed in the Five Nations Tournament, securing memorable victories against Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and France. Iconic players like Cyril Lowe, Ernest Hammett, and Wavell Wakefield defined this golden era with their outstanding performances.
Victory in Paris:
The highlight of the 1921 campaign was the victory against France at Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir. With a final score of 10-8, England displayed dominance despite a fierce challenge led by French captain René Crabos.
