Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Taiwan (also known as the Republic of China, and formerly as Formosa) is a significant sport. For political reasons, they compete as Chinese Taipei. They are currently ranked 49th, and have 2980 registered players. Rugby in Taiwan goes back to the turn of the 20th century, when the island was known as "Formosa". It has been claimed that it was being played even earlier by European sailors (as in Mainland China, and Japan). Unlike the PRC, rugby union has an unbroken history in Taiwan, but the Chinese Civil War and souring of relations with the mainland has meant it was effectively cut off. The game has a long presence in this part of Asia, especially Japan and Hong Kong. Rugby was also played in Shanghai at an early date, and is played to a high degree in South Korea. Right now, Taiwan is no. 4 in Asia, behind Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong.
