On the historic day of January 1st, 1906, France's rugby union team made their debut on the international stage, facing off against the formidable New Zealand All Blacks at the iconic Parc des Princes in Paris. Under the captaincy of Henri Amand, the French team, adorned in the first-ever France Rugby Shirt of 1906, displayed great zeal and determination, even in the face of a more experienced opponent.
