FASCINATING footage from over one-hundred-years ago, believed to be the first ever game of Rugby caught on film, has resurfaced this week. The video, which is just under a minute in length, depicts a 1901 fixture between Yorkshire sides Dewsbury and Manningham as they go head to head at the former???s Crown Flatt ground, which is still home to the town???s Rugby League team to this day. The clips reveal that the game is not so different to the sport as it is today, with a number of bone-jarring tackles going in from each side and tricky wingers attempting to make sprints down the touchline. One player can even be seen with his shirt almost completely ripped from his torso as the gathered crowd excitedly cheer on at the drama unfolding before them. mediadrumworld.com
