This book explores the expansion of rugby from its imperial and amateur upper-class white male core into other contexts throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The development of rugby in the racially divided communities of the setter empire and how this was viewed are explored initially. Then the editors turn to four case studies of rugby's expansion beyond the bounds of the British Empire (France, Italy, Japan and the USA). The role of women in rugby is examined and the subsequent development of women's rugby as one of the fastest growing sports for women in Europe, North America and Australasia in the 1980s and 1990s. The final section analyses the impact of commercialisation, professionalisation and media on rugby and the impact on the historic rugby culture linked to an ethos of amateurism.

As France's oldest team sport, rugby football has throughout its 125-year history reflected major changes in French society. This book analyzes for the first time the complex variety of motives that have led the French to adopt and remake this rather unlikely British sport in their own image. A major site for the construction of masculine, class-based regional and national identities, France's tradition of 'Champagne rugby' continues to be as subject to dramatic upheavals as the society that produced it. The game's precocious professionalism and endemic violence have not infrequently caused the French to be cast as international pariahs. Such isolation, exacerbated by internal politics, has led the French not only to encourage the extension of the sport beyond its British imperial base (into Italy and Romania, for instance), but also to engage in some uncomfortable tactical alliances, most obviously with apartheid South Africa.Taking his analysis both on and off the field, the author tackles these issues and much more: the relationship of sport and the state (including particularly the Vichy period and the period under de Gaulle); professionalization; the persistence of colonial and postcolonial structures (including the role of ethnic minorities); and gender issues - especially masculine identities. At the same time he links the evolution of the sport to the broader context of French socio-economic, political and cultural history.This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the cultural analysis of sport or French popular culture.

« Que suis-je venu chercher si loin de l’Eden Park, dans ce village sans ballon, où personne ne parle de rugby ? Que suis-je venu chercher si loin de l’épique, de l’essai du bout du monde et des prouesses technologiques ? Un monde qui n’est ni dans les livres, ni dans les lettres, dont on ne trouve trace dans aucun journal intime, dans aucune chronique familiale. Je suis venu rencontrer un peuple sans idéologie, ni leçon de morale, un peuple puissant, opiniâtre. L’existence comme un défi. J’ai fouillé dans le sol pour en extraire des racines. Et une pensée ». En près de trente ans de journalisme, Richard Escot a effectué une dizaine de voyages en Nouvelle-Zélande pour couvrir de grands événements rugbystiques (Coupes du monde, test-matchs de l’équipe de France, etc.). Fasciné dès son plus jeune âge par l’équipe des All Blacks, il a voulu comprendre pourquoi ces joueurs étaient si redoutables, ce qui les rendait uniques, en sortant des sentiers battus, parfois à ses risques et périls... Les moments forts de ces séjours sont ici racontés : rencontres avec des gloires anciennes de l’équipe nationale ; avec Inya Taylor, « prince des tatoueurs » ; virées dans les nuits sombres d’Auckland ; enquête sur les traces du mythique Jonah Lomu au Wesley College où son talent a éclos ; retour sur l’histoire du pays du « Long Nuage Blanc », de l’arrivée du rugby et de son adoption immédiate par ses habitants ; recherche sur la genèse du haka, cette danse féroce que les All Blacks exécutent avant chaque match ; parcours initiatique au coeur de la forêt, vers le marae, lieu protégé des Maoris... Au bout de ce voyage, on comprend pourquoi le rugby a été si vite intégré, puis enrichi par la culture maori : une culture guerrière certes, mais généreuse aussi envers ceux qu’elle a élus pour partager ses secrets. On revient de ce voyage en Rugby Land avec le sentiment de faire désormais un peu partie de ces privilégiés.

In 1995 rugby union became the last significant international sport to sanction professionalism. To some this represented an undesirable challenge to the traditions of the game. To others the change was inevitable and overdue – an acknowledgment of both the realty of modern sport and the extent to which money had already permeated the game. While there are some commonalities in the response to professional rugby, the contributions to this book, representing almost all of the significant rugby playing countries, reveal much more that was shaped by particular local contexts both within rugby and in terms of its place within the economic, political, class and social structures of the surrounding society. The authors assess the contrasting ways in which rugby administrators at local, regional and national level grappled with the changes that were required and the demands of the corporate backers who funded the transition to professionalism. But the more contentious relationships considered are those involving the many amateur rugby players and committed fans who found that significant community and historical reference points were subtly altered or simply obliterated in the face of new commercial imperatives – and especially new competitions that separated elite players from the grassroots of the game. Some have adapted to the replacement ‘product’ with relish, others have not. Some have genuine and well articulated grievances against the processes of changes. Others have fallen victim to a nostalgia which appropriates very selective memories of the amateur past to highlight apparent problems with the professional present. Above all, these contributions provide a range of perspectives that enable the reader to take stock at a particular point in what is still a rapidly evolving game. Read in ten or twenty years, this book may confirm that many of the right paths have been taken – or it may provide pointers to crisis as yet unimagined.
