History of Football — Stagger for the Dagger [with Beyond the Breakers] || CIAS #19.3

Now that we've finally finished with the ball jokes (mostly), we can set aside our three horrid little fancy-boy schools and get on to the important business of talking about...well, another fancy-boy school that the first three turn their noses up at: Rugby. In this episode, come learn about: which recurring CIAS character had a cameo role in the myth-making of rugby football's origins, what the Don Cherry of 1860s football was complaining about, and what went on in the wild life of the man most responsible for the emergence of Australian football. Please note that there is a version of this episode with slides, if you prefer. You can watch the video on YouTube here.
