ABSTRACT
It is a sunny, brisk afternoon in November, with a slender breeze blowingacross the pitch. In a few moments School House will face School in a match that would change the face of British sport.
Thwack! The ball is kicked off, far into the distance but no more than fifteen feet in the air at its highest. It is caught and taken back bravely by a School House player into the oncoming School forwards. As the two packs meet, the ball temporarily disappears. As struggle for possession seems to get increasingly desperate, the ball suddenly appears on the House side of the scrum.
