These are rugby cartoons by Paul Brannelly of Blackrhino Promotions in Wellington, New Zealand. They first appeared in a New Zealand magazine called the Rugby News.
About Paul Brannelly: "Like all young Kiwi boys I played Saturday morning in the rain, the cold, in little shorts, NO boots and NO team formation. I played for Eltham Rugby Club (Taranaki, NZ) for about seven years, in the position of wing or fullback. I was a points scoring machine (the goal kicker) and now, like most has-beens, I have my say every time there's a rugby game on the TV. I began drawing cartoons at a very young age, about seven years. My first cartoon was for a Wanganui Newspaper at the age of seventeen, and from there I moved on to the magazines. I first drew "Steve Scrummage" in 1993, but he wasn't published until 2002 in New Zealand's number one rugby magazine Rugby News, which is where you can catch up with him every rugby week."
