It's hard to believe that in March 1997 the Keith web site went online and within moments became self-aware, eager to spread it's programming throughout the rugby world. Alas, it was alone in the world of rugby web sites. Not even the NZRFU or the CRFU had an internet presence.

It was a time when facts never got in the way of a good rugby story about how many tries were scored or how many metres had to be run. It was a time when 3.5" floppy discs ruled the file sharing war, when digital photos were all the rage and when you could measure your site visitors in units of 10.

Twenty years later things are much different but still the same. Photos and videos are still of paramount importance but the steady collection of facts and statistics mean a whole new database driven technology gives a new life to an old site.

While the style and the layout has changed in the last two decades, the commitment to bringing quality and relevant Keith Rugby information to the team and our now thousands of visitors has never changed.

Keith hopes you will still visit keith.org.nz and find it informative and fun.
