No scrum caps, no tape. These are real men.

goin' to have a dig 'round in the family archives to see if I can add anything to this. My grandfather, William Stuart, was a young man in Hunslet at this time and it seems to me that he had a sister-in-law who was a great supporter of the local team.

Is this rugby league? Like before it was in Australia?
They have scrums after every tackle, not rucks, this is definitely not union. It must be from the scrums that they got the play the ball.

Indeed it is what became Rugby League ... Remember this was filmed around 6 years after 'the great split' and in the early years, both versions of the game played to the same rules.
Naturally, Rugby League rule changes have progressed at a far faster rate over the last 100 years since the film was shot, in order to make the game more attractive to watch, whereas Union has retained a lot of the elements seen.
So, it both is and isn't Rugby Union !

@admiralhanson Bullshit. Northern union only played union rules for two seasons then changed the rules removing lineouts from the game then changing other rules to make the game faster. Unon can't be union without lineouts so this is definately not union.

If you freeze this video between 11 and 18 seconds you will see Albert Goldthorpe, front right, Walter Goldthorpe is just behind him on the very edge of the screen. James Goldthorpe who had retired by this time is at the very back, in the centre wearing a hat.
