  • The Social Organisation of Rugby Union in New Zealand
    i Unions, Leagues and Franchises: The Social Organisation of Rugby Union in New Zealand ________________________________________ A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology at the University of Canterbury By Camilla Obel _________________________________________ University of Canterbury 2001 ii Til min mor og Matthew i ABSTRACT The amateur game of rugby union is analysed by focussing upon the struggles for control between national and local unions and players. Using historical material and interviews with administrators, current players in the New Zealand national team, the All Blacks, and Canterbury, a local provincial union, I show how the game of rugby union consolidated as the national game. I follow these actors through the shift to a global professional game sponsored by television networks and show how the local advantages in the New Zealand game come to be reconfigured in this context. In the first half of the thesis I argue that a contested and continuous process of indigenisation secured both the national popularity of the amateur game, against the threat of the rival code of professional rugby league, and maintained all-important competitive ties between the national team and Britain. Protection against threats from the rival code was secured by the centralised New Zealand Rugby Football Union (NZRFU) creating two national teams, the All Blacks (1905), composed of both ‘white’ and Maori players, and the New Zealand Maori team (1910) composed only of indigenous Maori players. Further, the establishment of a national challenge competition, the Ranfurly Shield (1902), and the formation of a national league, the National Provincial Championship (1976), secured local and national publics for the amateur game.

It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.’ Nelson Mandela. Sport holds a unique place in society, and in individuals. There is very little, as Mandela says, that can unite people in the same way – but very little that divides people quite so strongly. Very little that brings so much joy, and so much pain simultaneously. It can bring both hope and despair, both comedy and tragedy. The Diary of Sport presents the chaotic beginnings of various sports and the evolution into what we know today. It brings the records, the bizarre events, the sublime performances alongside the absurd. The individuals who make sport so entertaining, both the famous and the infamous. Presented in diary form with something for everyone. Read and enjoy! Nick Weatherhogg JANUARY 7 DIARY OF SPORT 1 January Any year: The birthday of any thoroughbred horse in the northern hemisphere. Bizarrely it doesn’t matter on what date a horse is actually born, its birthday must always be counted as being on 1 January … as long as it is in the northern hemisphere.

  • Myth and Reality in the 1895 Rugby Split
    Myth and reality in the 1895 rugby split Myth and Reality in the 1895 Rugby Split Tony Collins Sheffield Hallam University Signs, symbols and artefacts play a central role in the creation and development of sporting culture, traditions and myths. Yet few artefacts have acquired such a comprehensive mythology around them as William Wollen’s “The Roses Match”, a depiction of the 1893 Yorkshire v Lancashire rugby match at Bradford’s Park Avenue ground. The original hangs at Twickenham and a reproduction of it takes pride of place in the club house of Otley RUFC - who incidentally played in the Northern Union for a number of years in the early 1900s.1 It is famous - or notorious, depending on your point of view - because those players who later joined the Northern Union have been painted out. If you look in the top left hand corner of the painting it is possible to see the ghostly apparition of a player who turned professional and was subsequently painted over by the artist. More detailed examination will reveal other areas which have been changed to render future rugby league players “unpersons”. In the same way that Stalin airbrushed Trotsky out of Soviet history, so too did the rugby union conspire to repaint the history of the rugby games. Unfortunately, this neat and evocative story isn’t true. It is, however, widely believed, having been retold in both rugby league and rugby union folklore, reprinted in magazines and screened on TV. In November 1994 BBC North even screened a documentary in which someone was seen pointing to where the players had supposedly been painted out! In fact, the painting was completed before rugby’s split took place and was widely exhibited in Lancashire and Yorkshire in the autumn of 1895, just a couple of months after the split - when missing players would have been spotted immediately.

In the absence of any previous detailed work, it will serve to demonstrate Milton’s importance in restructuring the administration, formulating policy and imposing social barriers in early Rhodesia – factors that will contribute to the research undertaken by revisionist writers. It will also go some way towards answering Lord Blake’s call to discover exactly what the Administrator did and how he did it. Milton’s experiences at the Cape are seen as being essential to an understanding of the administration he established in Rhodesia. Through examining this link – referred to by historians but not as yet explored in detail – new knowledge will be provided on Rhodesia’s government in the pre-First World War period.
