| Sometime between 950 and 1130 AD the Polynesians discover New Zealand........ |
| In 1642 the first European explorer, Abel Janszoon Tasman, sailed into New Zealand waters................ |
| On February 6th 1840 Maori chieftains sign a treaty with the British . This is known as the Treaty Of Waitangi........... |
 |
| After that a whole bunch of Land Wars happened and then a heap of boring history stuff............... |
| Then on the 14th of May 1870 New Zealand got it's first taste of Rugby when Nelson College and Nelson Football Club played and everyone rejoiced! |
