For the first time, the origins of the game and its place in our early history has been researched and written by Alan Turley. The fascinating story begins with William Webb Ellis at Rugby School, covers the evolution of the rules and the game itself, and goes on to describe how the game first came to be played in New Zealand. Forwords by John Graham and Sir Brian Lochore.
