I have restored the Somerset template. Though born in Australia, Woods became deeply identified with the county and was greatly loved. See the "Somerset Cult Heroes" External Link in the article.

Did Sammy Woods play for a club based in Wellington, Somerset or for Wellington College, Berkshire? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 11:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wellington, Somerset; why do you ask? Harrias ^talk 12:14, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With Wellington College being one of the 21 founding members of the Rugby Football Union, I wasn't sure whether Sammy Woods and Percy Ebdon were playing there at the time of their England appearances. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 08:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm - it might be worth double checking - with him being Somerset based, I'd always assumed it was Wellington in Somerset; but he did travel to play for Blackheath etc. I'll have a look to check! Harrias ^talk 18:50, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He went to Brighton College before going on to Cambridge, so it seems unlikely that he would have had any connection with Wellington College. JH (talk page) 20:42, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you know whether this is also true for both Percy Ebdon and Reginald Forrest? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 09:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ebdon died in Wellington, Somerset, so I would guess that was who he played rugby for; Forrest I have no idea; though clearly he was again very Somerset based, so it seems a reasonable guess that it was the Wellington in Somerset. Harrias ^talk 09:48, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know almost nothing about RU, but are we 100% sure that it's correct that Wellington College was a founder member of the RU rather than the better-known (at least to me) Wellington School, Somerset. JH (talk page) 10:01, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wellington College, Berkshire is mentioned in The formation of the first Rugby Union, and the "Founding Clubs of the RFU" template, but I've no evidence to this validate these. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 10:55, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's a report in The Times of 27 March 1925 of a "Wellington Jubilee" rugby game between Somerset and Devon at Wellington (Somerset) attended by, among others, Woods and Ebdon who are identified as "all old Internationals who have been associated with the Wellington Club". Johnlp (talk) 23:28, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the article: "In his reminiscences, W. G. Grace expressed his at George Giffen and Harry Moses, who he rated as Australia's best players, not travelling with the team..." I'm guessing that the missing word might have been "displeasure", but does anyone have a better idea? JH (talk page) 21:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, more or less. I've put in disappointment. I should really come back to this article! Oh for the time... Harrias ^talk 13:59, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
