Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Croatia is a minor sport. They are currently ranked forty-sixth in the International Rugby Board''s world rankings. Rugby union in Croatia has not been popular historically, but due to its recent international successes, it is gaining more recognition. Some people date the start of Croatian rugby to the 17th of January 1954 when the Mladost team from Zagreb was formed to become Croatia''s first Rugby Club. The breakup of Yugoslavia meant that rugby was a low priority. However, it ironically had something of a minor revival in Croatia, when occupying British troops started to play regular games against the locals in the 1990s. By that point there were a thousand registered players in the country, and fourteen clubs, and some fifty Croats playing in the France''s top three divisions.
