Back In My Day

Posted by Naly D on Wednesday, 23 Dec 2009.

There's a blog that's out there that I keep meaning to write about, but the content never quite matched anything I wanted to talk about. It's Rugby Pioneers, a blog dedicated to rugby's history and memorabilia. Amazingly it is run by one French man with great English who finds some amazing photographs, collectables and videos.

Today, he's thrown up some clips from the turn of the century. Not this century, last century. 1901. They were recently restored by the British Film Institute and uploaded to YouTube. Here's one, the rest are over at Rugby Pioneers.


Amazing videos, aren't they ?

Thanks for propagating the links in Rugbyland...

I understand it could be difficult to match sporting news with my rugby memorabilia... I've got the exact symetric issue : how to match my historical stuff with modern rugby ;-)

Merry XMas in New Zeland !

(did you check that 'All Blacks' postcard ?... )

That's really cool Naly !!! : )

Il est vraiment super ton blog Frédéric !!! ; )
