Le rugby

Daily newspapers and periodical magazines provided fans of popular sports with information and games reports, often illustrated with prints or photographs. This magazine cover shows the line-out, with the players of both teams competing to catch the ball that has been thrown in from the side line after it left the field. The comment by the sports correspondent indicates the weather was rainy and the field soggy, the mediocre game was fought bitterly by both sides and ended in a draw.

La touche, au rugby, est le nom donné à la remise en jeu du ballon, suite à la sortie de celui-ci du terrain.
