EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for the Scottish rugby team as they defeat England at Blackheath in 1901. The scene is set on the lush, green expanse of Blackheath Common in London, where the two teams faced off in a fiercely contested match. The date, 13th January 1901, was a significant one in the annals of rugby history as Scotland emerged victorious with a score of 18-3. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the sport of rugby was still in its infancy. The players, dressed in their respective jerseys, can be seen locked in a scrum, the intensity of their focus evident on their faces. The crowd, a sea of spectators, watches on with bated breath, their cheers and jeers adding to the electric atmosphere of the match. The rectory in the background, with its tall, imposing chimneys, serves as a stark contrast to the raw energy and passion of the game unfolding on the field. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of rugby and the fierce rivalry between England and Scotland, a rivalry that continues to this day. The defeat of England by Scotland at Blackheath in 1901 was a turning point in the history of the sport, marking the beginning of a new era of dominance for Scottish rugby. This photograph, a precious relic from the past, is a reminder of the passion, intensity, and history that surrounds the game of rugby.
