Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Sri Lanka is mainly played at a semi-professional and recreational level. It is a popular team sport with a history dating back to 1879. Sri Lanka discovered the game of rugby at the same time as India, and the first rugby club, The Colombo Football Club, was founded in Sri Lanka in 1879. The first rugby match played between two selected teams occurred on the 30th of June of that year between Colombo and a ''World'' Team. The nation''s first ''national'' match involved an All Ceylon team against the All Blacks. In the post-WWII period, S. Muthiah campaigned for the sports introduction into the national police service. The 1950 British Lions tour to New Zealand and Australia, also played an unofficial match in Ceylon on their way home.
