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 Mori, 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.
