Page 11: NZ & Empire - Rugby

“Rugby is a soldier-making game!”, Tom Ellison, Maori rugby player and Natives’ Team captain

“For a small country, starting to be noticed on the battlefields of Empire was very important. To that extent, rugby became a superb training ground fro making New Zealanders the territorials of the empire”, Jock Phillips, Historian

“Suddenly the British looked at the New Zealanders in South Africa and said ’Here are these enormous, tough, colonial men; they are the great hope of Empire!’ And so New Zealanders began to think of themselves as much more physically strong than men in England”, Jock Phillips, Historian

“The natural and healthy conditions of colonial life produce stalwart and athletic sons of whom New Zealand and the Empire are justly proud”, NZ Prime Minister Seddon

“Rugby, I think, was a very good trainer because it provided a model of how to work as a team…you learnt that if you worked together you were more successful than if you worked as individuals” Jock Phillips, Historian
