Listen "61. Rugby Wars in Two World Wars"
Episode Synopsis
This week we take a look at how the war between union and league played out in the UK during World Wars 1 and 2 - with union’s league ban lifted, league stars shone in union.

And when the world war was over, the rugby war resumed with a vengeance. For more on the history of rugby and the other football codes, follow me on Twitter @collinstony and at www.rugbyreloaded.com
