Nomads 1871 Rugby Polo
Founding Member of the Rugby Football Union in 1871 – Nomads 1871 Rugby Polo
Originating as the old boy’s side of Marlborough College in 1867, a mere six years after the college team’s establishment in 1861, the Nomads bore witness to the profound influence of the college football sides on early Rugby. Marlborough College’s rules, akin to Rugby School’s principles, served as the foundation for the initial laws of Rugby Union, demonstrating a progressive stance by excluding the contentious practice of hacking.
Nomadic existence, sharing Rugby Grounds
The nomenclature ‘Nomads’ was a testament to their nomadic existence, lacking a dedicated home ground. However, this limitation did not deter their profound impact on the formation and evolution of Rugby Football. Notably, Frederick Innes Currey’s pivotal role as the first RFU committee member and subsequent presidency (1884-1886) underscored Nomads’ enduring significance in shaping the sport’s governance.
