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 fairly popular team sport played in Romania with a tradition of more than 90 years. Romania''s men''s national team was 19th in the IRB World Rankings as of February 2010. Rugby union in Romania is administered by the Romanian Rugby Federation. (Federa ia Român de Rugby) which was founded in 1914, and joined the IRB in 1987, when Romania were invited to take part in the inaugural Rugby World Cup. The current president is George Straton. Romania is a country which has historically had close ties with France, even down to the design of its national flag, and it was from there that the game was introduced to Romania at the turn of the twentieth century by students returning with rugby balls from their studies in Paris. Romanian rugby took root in Bucharest, established by students who had been to French universities, and by the capital''s burgeoning middle class.
