Who are the South Sydney Rabbitohs?
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are a rugby league club from Redfern and the inner south of Sydney. Founded in 1908, they have won more premierships than any other club in Australian rugby league.
Souths were a founding member of the New South Wales Rugby League in 1908 and won the first premiership that year. They dominated in the 1950s and late 1960s and early 1970s, with stars such as Clive Churchill and John Sattler.
The club's name is often linked to the rabbit sellers, or rabbit-ohs, who sold rabbit meat from carts in the area in the early 1900s and called out to customers.
Fight to survive
In 1999 the club was excluded from the competition during a restructure. Thousands of supporters marched through Sydney, and after a court case, Souths returned in 2002.
Actor Russell Crowe became a co-owner in 2006. In 2014 the Rabbitohs won their first premiership in 43 years.
Their colours are cardinal red and myrtle green, and their home ground is Accor Stadium.
