 H. Rider Haggard's true account, "The Tale of Isandhlwana and Rorke's Drift", published in Andrew Lang's "True Story Book" (1894), names many important figures but omits Surgeon Reynolds, who played a crucial role in the defence.In 1914, a touring English Northern Union rugby league team defeated Australia 14–6 to win the Ashes in the final test match.Depleted by injuries and fielding only ten men for much of the second half, the English outclassed and outfought the Australians in what quickly became known as the "Rorke's Drift Test".
