Correct, it was the British Empire, the United Kingdom of Great Britain or just Britain. I was just posting a quick answer to the question asked.

Hello mate.
The union flag (the United Kingdom)

Is made up from the following:
St. Georges flag of England

St. Andrews cross of Scotland

And St. Patricks cross of Northern Ireland


Is this what you meant?
Hence in the rugby and football you'll tend to see the individual flags flown by each nation.
