Rugby Re-enactment: Sydney University v Newington College, 1863-style

At half-time during last week's Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney (The Qantas Wallabies v All Blacks) there was a re-enactment of the first rugby match played between Sydney University and Newington College; both of which were founded in 1863 and so are celebrating their Sesquicentenary this year.

The teams were 20-a-side and the rules were rather different; matches could last 5 days. 

Check out the video of the 7 minute re-enactment below.
