Still discussing about rugby at the Olympic Games... here in Paris, 1924... with a nice view of Stade de Colombes from plane... you can see the players, the rugby posts and the Olympic flags.. (larger pic here)
Actually, I was on my way back to my office, this afternoon, and decided to visit a postcard dealer downtown Paris... and was happy to find this card "hidden" among other football cards...
I am making a bet... the stadium is half empty, suggesting that France is not playing that day... hence, the only possibility left to us is USA v Romania... (39 - 0 ! nine tries to nil for the Americans...)
