Robert Yates: Rugby

Britain is famous for many things; tea, cricket, the bowler hat...and
rugby! Although the exact origins of 'rugby football' are unclear, we do
know that it has gone from being a minor past-time played in the boys
schools of 19th century England, to one of the most loved sports
worldwide. Rugby has even played a part in healing the wounds of
Apartheid. In this talk, we explore the basics of rugby, some of it's most
famous players, and how it can provide a sense of companionship and
respect that no other sport can...with the aid of lots of videos!

The talk will take place on May 27 at 5:30 pm in the MPA lecture hall.
