France playing Wales during the Six Nations Championship

The France national rugby union team is a national sporting side that represents France in rugby union. They compete annually against England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales in the Six Nations Championship. They have won the championship outright on fourteen occasions, shared in another eight titles and completed eight grand slams. They are currently the fifth ranked team in the world, behind New Zealand ("The All Blacks"), Australia, South Africa and Argentina. Six former French players have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame. Rugby was introduced to France in 1872 by the British, and on New Year's Day, 1906, the national side played its first Test match against New Zealand in Paris. They won their first Grand Slam in 1968, and won numerous titles in the following years. Since the inaugural World Cup in 1987, France have qualified for the knock-out stage of every tournament and have reached the final twice. They were runners-up to the All Blacks in 1987 and to Australia in 1999. France are the host nation for the current 2007 Rugby World Cup. France traditionally play in white-trimmed blue shirts with blue shorts and red socks, and are commonly referred to as les tricolores or les bleus. (more...)

Annie Oakley

Annie Oakley, a 19th century sharpshooter and exhibition shooter who performed as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, demonstrates her rifle target skills in this 1894 film. Using a .22 caliber rifle at 90 feet (27 m), Oakley reputedly could split a playing card edge-on and put five or six more holes in it before it touched the ground.

Featured list: 1888-1889 New Zealand Native football team matches
The New Zealand Natives' football team prior to playing Queensland in July 1889.
This is a list of 1888-1889 New Zealand Native football team matches. The team toured the British Isles, Australia, and New Zealand in 1888 and 1889. Although the team mainly played rugby football, it also played several Victorian Rules, and Association football matches. The team won 78 of their 107 rugby matches and three of their Victorian Rules matches. Their tour of the British Isles was the first by a New Zealand rugby team - the next was not until the Original All Blacks tour of 1905.[1] The squad of 26 was privately organised and was composed mainly of players of Maori ancestry, although several Pakeha were included in the squad.
