From mud-scented clubrooms and the crowded stands at Mount Smart to soft diplomacy in the Pacific — rugby league has many faces. The soaring highs and crushing lows of the average Warriors season are matched only by the drama that unfolds off the field. Rugby league is both the people’s game with a proud working-class history and a commercial beast — one that offers young players great opportunity but at the cost of their bodies in a gruelling and competitive system. Join Ryan Bodman (Rugby League in New Zealand), Sean Mallon, and Miriama Aoake (Ngaati Mahuta, Ngāti Hinerangi, Waikato-Tainui) as they survey the state of the sport.
A discounted ‘Ticket + book’ bundle is available for a copy of Rugby League in New Zealand: A People's History by Ryan Bodman.If purchased, your book can be collected from Unity Books, 57 Willis Street, Wellington in advance of the festival, or at the event from Unity's book table.
