This week's 'Rugby Reloaded' travels back in time to ancient China with Dr Kevin Moore to look at the incredible history of Cuju, the ball game that survived in China for 2,000 years.

You can find details about the Chinese National Football Museum here, Sepp Blatter’s endorsement of Cuju here, and a short description of the game based on what little knowledge currently exists here.
