Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Cuba is a minor sport. The Cuban Rugby Union is the governing body for rugby union in the Cuba. It was founded in 1996. Rugby was played by famous Argentinian revolutionaries Alberto Granado and Che Guevara. After meeting through the game and going on to tour South America (see The Motorcycle Diaries) the pair would settle in Cuba and become national heroes. Alberto Granado later became Cuban''s Rugby first Patron and helped develop the sport in the Country where it had not been traditionally played. During the 1990s and first decade of this century Rugby slowly developed with the involvement of several touring teams from foreign countries such as Canada and France. These teams helped to provide both coaching and much needed equipment. With no olympic support at this time, Cuban rugby had no financial backing from the government with teamsoften playing under precarious conditions with no changing rooms, goal posts and even no markings on the pitch.
