  • Shearman, Montague (1887). Athletics and Football. London: Longman, Greens and Co. pp. 313–314. [T]he defending side form down one yard from the centre of the goals by one of their number, called "post", taking up his position in the centre with the ball between his feet, and three or four placing themselves close up behind him, with others called "sides" on either side to support him ... On the attacking side, four players, also called sides, form down against the defenders' bully [scrummage]... two on either side, leaving a small gully in front of post just large enough to admit some four of the attacking side, and these headed by one who is said to run in charge in a compact mass, one close behind the other, against the centre of the opponents' bully, so that when they have closed, the whole is one consolidated mass. If the attacking side is stronger, and the sides do their work properly, the bully of the defenders is sometimes pushed bodily through goals; if, however, the two bullies are equal in weight or strength, the ball eventually breaks loose, and the play continues as originally begun.
