Well I received a few answers to the question "which country lost the most
capped rugby union international players during WWI?".
The answer is.....
Germany!
Apparently rugby union was a big deal in pre-War Germany but the Kaiser put a
stop to it on the outbreak of war and it never recovered.
You learn something new every day (if I have anything to do with it...)
