The First England Team, 1871, in the 1st international, vs Scotland in Edinburgh.
The first international rugby football game resulted from a challenge issued in the sporting weekly Bell's Weekly on 8 December 1870 and signed by the captains of five Scottish clubs, inviting any team "selected from the whole of England" to a 20-a-side game to be played under the Rugby rules. The game was played at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, the home ground of Edinburgh Academicals, on 27 March 1871. The English team wore white with a red rose and the Scots brown with a thistle. Three international matches played according to Association Football rules had already taken place at the Oval, London, in 1870 and 1871.
