Description: | The England rugby team, captained by W.W. Wakefield, won this match 11-0 against France at Twickenham Stadium. This photograph shows the second try being scored in front of a packed ground. Wakefield was an influential figure both on and off the rugby pitch. He captained both the England side and the London team Harlequins and during the First World War he was a member of the Royal Flying Corp. After his sporting and military careers ended he became M.P. for Swindon and then Marylebone. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Sport | Temporal: | 27 FEB 1926 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
