'Rugby League in New Zealand: A People’s History' unveils the compelling journey of a game flourishing against the odds. Drawing on first-hand interviews and a wide range of illustrations and archival material, Ryan 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.
