EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "The Enthusiast: A Short Course of Training for the Rugger Enthusiast," offers a humorous glimpse into the world of rugby training in the late 19th or early 20th century. Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, this historical image captures a group of rugby enthusiasts engaged in an unconventional training session. The scene is set in an open field, with a few trees and a fence in the background, suggesting a rural location. The enthusiasts, dressed in baggy rugby shorts and heavy boots, are shown practicing various exercises that appear more comical than effective. One man is shown attempting to balance a ball on his head while another tries to juggle it with a stick. A third man is seen attempting to kick a ball that is suspended from a tree branch, while a fourth man holds it in place. Despite the humorous nature of the scene, it is clear that these enthusiasts are dedicated to improving their rugby skills. The image serves as a reminder of the passion and enthusiasm that has long been associated with rugby, a sport that has captivated audiences and participants for over a century. The photograph also provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of rugby training methods. While modern training regimens focus on more scientific and systematic approaches, this image showcases the more unorthodox methods that were once popular. Overall, "The Enthusiast: A Short Course of Training for the Rugger Enthusiast" is a delightful and entertaining reminder of the rich history and enduring appeal of rugby.
