Looking at rugby in late Victorian and Edwardian England, this title examines how class conflict tore rugby apart and led to the creation of rugby league. It deals with the development of amateurism and professionalism, England's north-south divide, the relationship between rugby and masculinity, and the rise of commercializd sport.
