FIRST INTERNATIONAL

The rugby union match played between Scotland and England on 27 March 1871 was the world’s very first international rugby union football match.

Played at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh in front of 4,000 spectators. Scotland won the match, scoring two tries and a goal to England’s single try.

The match resulted from a challenge issued in the sporting weekly Bell’s Weekly on 8 December 1870. 

The English team wore all white, with a red rose on its shirts and the Scots, brown shirts with a thistle.

The team representing England was captained by Frederick Stokes of Blackheath, that representing Scotland was led by Francis Moncrieff.

Played over two 50 minute halves. Scotland scored a goal with a successful conversion kick after grounding the ball over the goal line. Both sides achieved a further ‘try’ each but failed to convert them to goals, as the kicks were unsuccessful.

Angus Buchanan was the first man to score a try in international rugby.

In a return match at the Kennington Oval, London, in 1872, England were the winners by 2 goals to 1.

West Kent disbanded in 1886
