On the 28 October the Birmingham Evening Gazette reported:[4] England v France Sunday football is neither popular nor frequent here but it is one of the latest diversions that help to make the French Sabbath so much unlike ours.

On Sunday an English fifteen will meet the French Rugby Union at the Paris Exhibition Grounds.

A rugby football match was played today at the Velodrome Municipal at Vincennes between Moseley Wanderers and a team representing the full strength of France.
