The most famous rugby painting of them all belongs to Yorkshire RFU and hangs on the wall of the President's Suite in the West Stand of Twickenham Stadium.

The painting depicts a late 19th century tussle between two of England’s fiercest historic rivals, Lancashire and Yorkshire. At the time of the painting, these two counties dominated English rugby, and their players the English national team."
