royal navy
at the beginning of the twentieth century a number of service based clubs existed but found it hard to gain support from service players, because it was considered necessary to turn out for civilian clubs to get first-class games. however, in 1902 the united services recreation ground began to give financial support to the united services portsmouth rugby football club to stimulate interest. the club quickly began performing strongly and gained an excellent reputation and equally strong fixture list. the appeal that had been sent out to all naval players to support service clubs had worked and a definite movement had been made to induce all officers in the navy to give up playing for civilian clubs. soon after in 1906 the rnru was formed, with many of its players international standard. (this last statement requires citation as it is not supported by the evidence. in november 1907 the press were invited to a luncheon where the formation of the royal navy rugby union was announced. this was then reported widely in the press including the army and navy gazette in his book rugby football (and how to play it) wja davies makes reference to the same point made by marshall and tosswill and also makes reference to the formation of the royal navy rugby union in 1906 however this chapter contains a number of inaccuracies and it is believed by many that wja davies chose the date from the season when the first capped army navy match was played, 1906/07. however these caps were awarded retrospectively by the royal navy rugby union following a meeting held by the royal navy rugby union in august 1910 )
