This week's 'Rugby Reloaded' takes a ten-minute trip back to the time when Australians wondered if they'd ever beat the British, fretted about stopping the player drain to England, and raised money to keep rugby union afloat. The 1920s and 1930s were the time when the Kangaroos were underdogs and today's league world was its mirror opposite.
For more on Australian league in the interwar years, take a look at ‘Leagues Apart, 1919-39’ chapter 19 of The Oval World and ‘The Kangaroo Connection’, chapter eight of Rugby League in Twentieth Century Britain.
