Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union is a growing sport in Asia and is governed by the Asian Rugby Football Union. Although it is growing in popularity in Russia and Georgia, both are considered part of the European rugby fraternity, and compete in the European Nations Cup. The Japanese national team is the powerhouse of Asian rugby, the only Asian nation to have qualified for the Rugby World Cup, and the only one to have representation on the International Rugby Board''s executive council. Their main rivals are South Korea and Hong Kong, the latter team no longer consisting almost entirely of Anglo-Saxon ex-pats with more than 50% of the current National squad either being born in Hong Kong or being of Chinese nationality. Currently, Asia has one guaranteed berth in the Rugby World Cup and one repechage place (i.e. via a play-off). Sixteen Asian teams are full members of the International Rugby Board, though one (Guam) is arguably in Oceania, whilst the Arabian Gulf team represents five countries; Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
