| 4/7/26 |  ‘We’d just thought you’d go away’: A Brief Early History of Women’s Rugby in The USA | How a counter-culture movement and a landmark civil rights case created the first World Cup winners.In the Autumn of 1972, two groups of Colorado university students unwittingly started a movement. Providing queer and straight women a safe space to play a full-contact sport, this was a direct response to a vulgar display of misogyny they had witnessed over a year previously and buoyed by a landmark civil rights case. This is the tale of the women who refused to go away.Check out more information: https://therugbyhistoryproject.com/ | — | ||||||

| 2/20/26 |  A Brief History of the Weird World of the Men's Six Nations | In February and March every year, the rugby world is gripped by five rounds of the highest level of men's European international rugby.

| 1/1/26 |  Chasing the Egg: A Short History of the Rugby Ball | If you asked most people to describe a ball, they would describe a round sphere. However, in the sport of rugby, we use a bizarre ellipsoidal ball. Lovingly referred to as an 'egg' or as 'egg-shaped' by many rugby union fans, the ball has become an icon of the sport. But how exactly did we end up with such a shape in the first place?Links, references and images for this episode can be found on my website: https://therugbyhistoryproject.com/. | — | ||||||
