Rugby Special: 1871-1971: RFU Centenary Year Series: The Centenary Match: England and Wales v Scotland and Ireland

on BBC Two England

at Twickenham
Today's match was the official beginning of this momentous season which will celebrate the founding of a new sport in January 1871.
The game itself provides special interest for all Rugby Union enthusiasts: far from being just an entertaining exhibition, it will parade the talents of the players who will form the bulk of the British Lions Tour of New Zealand next summer.
