Produktbeschreibung

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 Israel, with a history going back over seventy years and is most popular amongst people of South African origin. The Israel Rugby Union was founded in 1971, and joined the IRB in 1988. For political reasons it is also part of FIRA-AER, the European rugby body, rather than the Asian Rugby Football Union. Rugby union was brought to the country by British soldiers (and other military) during the Mandate era, but petered out after the British left. Around the same time, there was an influx of Jews who had immigrated from various parts of the British Commonwealth, and the Francophonie who tried to establish the game. However, the game took a backseat in the 1940s, as Israelis were involved in the Second World War and Israeli War of Independence in 1948, and the country''s infrastructure struggled to cope with the large numbers of European immigrants.
