Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Algeria is a minor but growing sport. Rugby union was introduced into Algeria by the French. Some Pied-Noirs (ethnic French Algerians) would go on to become significant rugby players, such as Maurice Boyau. As with many minor rugby nations, rugby is centred on the capital, Algiers. Like many North African countries, the historical connection with France is a mixed blessing. For a number of years, Algerian rugby players would leave to play there, which deprived Algerian rugby of any real competition. There are at least sixty Algerians playing in English and French rugby. Like many other Maghrebi nations, Algerian rugby tended to look to Europe for inspiration, rather than to the rest of Africa. However, one exception might be Boumedienne Allam: Allam first played for France U-21 squad, winning the Six Nations Tournament of that category, in2000. He was a member of the historical first game of Algeria national rugby union team, in 24 February 2007.
