We’ve just wrapped up a pod record. Obviously we talked all things Costco, dead dogs and being haunted on our rugby podcast.

Just a few years after the first official Home Nations tournament, the then very small rugby world would be torn apart by one man and his house.

Post image After starting TRHP on Substack in July 2025, I transitioned my content to therugbyhistoryproject.com in September 2025 due to issues I had with Substack. I did however leave a legacy copy on Substack, just in case. Whilst I would urge you to do your own research, I personally have issues with other content which is platformed without moderation on Substack, and even suggested alongside mine. Having my own website has come with its learning curves but it has given me more creative freedom in how I share my work. 

As the move is complete and I am settled on the new site, I feel that more than enough time has passed for me to remove my work from Substack entirely. This will happen on the 28th February 2026. Please make sure you are subscribed to therugbyhistoryproject.com to receive my posts.

I would like to thank all of those who have contributed financially to TRHP as it helps pay for hosting fees, research costs, etc. It truly makes a huge difference.

Sorry to interrupt but

The greatest result in the history of the Celtic Challenge has just happened: West Wales’ Brython Thunder have just beaten undefeated league champions Wolfhounds from Ireland at Parc Y Scarlets

They were clearly the better team too. Incredible performance and historic result

At the start of every year, the rugby world is gripped by five rounds of the highest level of men's European rugby. The way the concept of the Six Nations has expanded and developed is fitting for a competition that didn't formally start as a competition.

A very wise woman once said that rugby and hockey are just the same sport in different fonts. As such, the latest edition of TRHP is all about when Britain 'stole' Canada's gold at the 1936 Winter Olympics.

Female sports fans generally spend a significant amount more on merchandise than male fans. Female leagues can outperform male ones too. WNBA has the second highest merchandise sales in the US for example, the NFL is above them but they have a far larger range and more teams!
