This is the story of a sport told through its communities. Rugby League in New Zealand: A People’s History unveils the compelling journey of a game flourishing against the odds. Beginning with the game’s introduction to the country in 1907, Ryan Bodman reveals the deep-rooted connections between rugby league’s development and the evolving cultural fabric of New Zealand. By questioning the mythic status of rugby union in the nation’s identity, this history highlights how power, politics and people have collectively shaped the country’s sporting scene. Drawing on first-hand interviews and a wide range of illustrations and archival material, Bodman locates rugby league history in working-class suburbs, and among Kiingitanga Māori, Pasifika migrants, and clubs and communities across the country. The people behind the game share accounts of change, triumph and resilience, while emphasising rugby league’s lasting influence on New Zealanders’ lives.
Detailed coverage of the 1993 season, with reports on all New Zealand's international matches at home and on tour, games in the national provincial championship, the Super 10 competition, and the Ranfurly Shield. Sections are included on the New Zealand colts, the Divisional XV, age group rugby, Maori rugby, sevens tournaments, and the game in the universities. Five 'players of the year' are included. A reference tool for the keen follower of the game.
