1924 Olympic Rugby finals - video
Posted at 25th May 2009 / 12:31
Look at this awesome piece of rugby history. The USA playing France in the Final of the 1924 Paris Olympics. Take a look at the crowd, the place was absolutely packed! Unfathomable that rugby got excluded from the Games shortly afterwards.
This was 15s Rugby of course, whereas the current bid for rugby's Olympic re-inclusion is all about the fast paced, high scoring 7-a-side variety of our awesome sport!
Check the try 55 seconds in - boom! He must have been the Jonah Lomu of the 1920s!
