A brief history of the England ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ rugby jersey ahead of the #ENGvFRA game in this weekend's #SixNations.

A thread. ๐Ÿงต

The white shirt with its famous red rose was first worn back in 1871.
On 27 March, 1871, 20 (yes, 20) men represented England against Scotland at Raeburn Place. The match was played under Scottish laws (laws at this point had regional variations) and played in front of 4,000 spectators.
Played over two 50-minute halves, Scotland won by one goal and one try to England's one try. There were no points awarded in those days, and the home side won thanks to the fact it had more 'goals' (a converted try in this case) than England did.
