In the first Rugby football international match tobe played at Richmond for thirty years, a combined England and Wales team defeated a Scotland-Ireland side 17-8, after a half-time score of 6-0. Proceeds were for the benefit of the Red Cross and the teams, chosen entirely from the Services, cluded 28 international players. Four thousand people watched interesting game, in which the Anglo-Welsh combination showed super in all departments except at full-back. Foundation for success was aid in the scrums, in which the Welsh international Travers hooked brilliantly. The three-quarters also shone both as a combination and individually.
