You won't kick at my wishing you a Merry Christmas, will you ?

Let's share this fine Christmas card with a rugby theme... No date, but c.1900...

The rugby poem reads:

I tackle the job

with the greatest of glee

In touch with Good Luck

at all Points may you be

A jolly Good Run through a Scrum-ptious Yule...

May you Take all your Chances

and Score a Fine Goal

You won't kick at my wishing you a Merry Christmas, will you ? 

Middlesex 7s - Twickenham - 1934

Here's my tribute to Dubai 7s being played today... a full set of photographies + tournament program from Middlesex 7s played at Twickenham in April 1934, eventually won by the Barbarians...

No comment... Enjoy!

NB: please read this old note for some insights into the birth of 7s rugby in Scotland (Melrose 7s...) and the history of Middlesex 7s (since 1926)
