Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Colombia is a minor but growing sport. They are currently ranked 65th by the IRB, with 2,942 registered players and 35 clubs. Rugby was first introduced into Colombia from the southern parts of South America, but really started going in 1986, when British and French expats played on Sundays in Bogotá. In the 1990s, the game spread to the locals. In Colombia, rugby is not well supported by the government or media, as football (soccer) has a stronger tradition in the country. The Colombian rugby team is called Los Tucanes. The game is mainly centred in Bogotá, but there is also a presence in Medellin, and four other Colombian cities. In Bogotá, rugby was pushed by a few players, Alfonso Castafaletti and Hywel Jones in the early nineties and then in early 2000s Andrew Wright, Nick Reeves and Andres Tejada who is currently coaching the team with Juan Roman. Hans Rausch was instrumental in helping the game develop in Medellin.
