Rugby-Pioneers: Rugby, all over again...

Rugby, all over again...

Nice illustration... cover page from a c.1920 French rugby practise manual (by former Racing Club de France player and USFSA official R-W Magnanou)...

The cover also read (in French) "Rugby makes athletes, but surely makes Men"

And ?

Nothing... just food for thought while waiting for domestic championships to resume in Europe, HCup to start and VI Nations Tournament to come back in February... all over again... straight forward to next Rugby World Cup in England in just 3 years and 10 months...
