Brief History: The England rugby team has a special place in history as it was part of the very first international test match against Scotland in 1871. Over the next 30 years England has regular matches against teams such as Ireland, Wales and even the touring southern hemisphere teams such as the New Zealand natives. In 1909 the England rugby team moved to Twickenham where it has remained since. England has always remained one of the stronger sides in world rugby and has had both its low and highs. The 1966 year was one of the lows, when they did not win a single match in the entire year. The new modern era of rugby has seen England win the world cup in 2003 which is considered to be the greatest accomplishment in world rugby and managed to reach the final in 2007 against South Africa only to lose 15-6.
