The game of rugby has changed significantly in the course of its
history. In the early part of the 19th century it evolved from a
folk game played by the working class to a recreational activity
for public schoolboys. From the 1820s rugby represented an
opportunity for gentlemen to demonstrate physical prowess and
masculinity and in more recent times it has developed into an
activity that reflects the changing attitudes towards professional
sport. For the most part of the last one hundred years, rugby union
became an important international sport that represented the
nationalistic ideals of a number of countries. However, a number of
developments, including the increasing influence of a business
ethos within sport during the latter decades of the twentieth
century, exposed rugby union to the realities of commercialism and
all the factors associated with it, especially the demands of a
more diverse spectating public. Drawing on interview material with
forty-eight elite level rugby union players from England, Wales,
Scotland, France, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia
who participated in elite level rugby union either before, in the
overlapping period or after the declaration of professionalism,
this book traces the evolution of attitudes towards professionalism
from a players' perspective and develops a critical review of the
impact that professionalism has had upon the sport of rugby union.
Rugby Union and Professionalisation: Elite Player Perspectives is
fascinating reading for all students and scholars with an interest
in rugby union, sport history, sport policy, sport management and
the sociology of sport.
