Best Answer

As you refer to the Union code. The Rose is the national flower of England. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) had created the national side's emblem prior to an English team being sent to Edinburgh to play the first Scottish side. A red rose was chosen to be the side's emblem from that date onward. The Tudor rose, which takes its name from the Tudor dynasty, was adopted as a national emblem of England around the time of the Wars of the Roses and has remaind so every since

Not surprisingly this is dominated by players of the modern era as many more tests are played each year than there used to be. Whilst Jason Robinson, Josh Lewsey, Iain Balshaw all have more England Caps: Robinson - 51, 5 Lions, Rugby League: 12 GB, 7 Eng and 1 Rest of World Lewsey - 55 Eng and 3 Lions Balshaw - 35 Eng and 3 lions All those three won a significant amount of their caps at wing so it is someone who is often called the forgotten man of English Rugby who has the most caps at fullback: Matt Perrywho has 36 and 3 lions who takes that particular award.
