The Dropkicks is a rugby podcast and sports blog site illuminating your path through the murky world of international rugby, league, cricket, football, baseball, motorsports, golf, netball and competitive eating.
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.
