I am afraid that I don't have much time these days... so, let's just share this fine picture, actually the cover page of French magazine "Très Sport", November 1st 1922, portaying Philippe Struxiano in action...
"Très Sport" was published in the 20s by editor Pierre Lafitte, also editor of "La Vie Au Grand Air". Its baseline was "Le seul magazine sportif technique et pratique" ("the only pratical and technical sports magazine")... in this issue, Philippe Struxiano - then captain of Toulouse and Equipe de France - gives a 20 pages "lecture" about how a rugby team should train and play... I will detail that another time ... as well as Struxiano's bio...
BTW I recently published a (poor but interesting) picture of Stuxiano a couple of days ago... and here is a better one (somehow posing...)
