1892 French Rugby Union Championship

French Rugby Championship 1892. On 20 March 1892 the USFSA organised the first ever French rugby union championship, a one off game between Racing Club de France and Stade Français. The game was refereed by Pierre de Coubertin and saw Racing win 4–3.[1] Racing were awarded the Bouclier de Brennus, which is still awarded to the winners of the French championship today. The trophy was the idea of de Coubertin and who commissioned Charles Brennus, a member of the USFSA and a professional engraver, to design it.

gollark: I'd assume that with an entire planet worth of mass you could get at least through the... surface bit?
