Piece about the Shanghai Rugby club The Shanghai Rugby Football Club The origins of the Shanghai Rugby Football Club can be traced back to 1867 when the very first Shanghai Football Club was founded, playing a hybrid of rugby and soccer on a field on the racecourse which became today's...

yeah he was born in the US but raised in Canberra http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/wallabies-dream-fades-as-lestranges-eagles-dare-20130119-2d0ew.html

on the USA's game this weekend they've got a decent squad, probably better than Canada had (based on my limited knowledge of NA players). Eagles got some old-timers in Thiel, LaValla, Clever, Petri, Suniula and L'Estrange, and Hume's been around for a bit hasn't he? USA Lineup to face Maori All...

looks as though the USA rugby union league is splitting off similarly to what the USA rugby league did with the AMNRL and the USARL. there's a pacific rim championship where they play each other twice (and are run outside of USA rugby) with: Belmont Shore, Denver Barbarians, Glendale Raptors...

yeah he played pretty well, ran alot from fullback and carved up the Canadian defence doing so a couple if times from what I remember, think he put on a pretty big hit on their fly-half Underwood aswell

it was a really good game, canada showed they can more than compete physically and their expansive attack is capable, just handling errors and pushing the pass that let them down, i reckon if they had their european players it would've taken 10-15 points of the maori's 40

live stream for the canada game on the rib website, i think it'll be streaming at 9am monday morning http://www.irb.com/live/video.html

I hope Madagascar get in. It seems they're competitive with Namibia in some games, maybe Namibia without Burger and assuming other few players that might play in Europe though. Surprises me how often Madagascar comes up though, anyone know much about Kenya in regards to 15's? I know there strong...

Madagascar won the Sri Lankan tri-nations beating Poland and the hosts, there's some highlights there of their game against SL. http://newsfirst.lk/english/node/30343

Pretty interesting, Pakistan U/19's v Indian U/19's got a far bit of media exposure in both countries and they got 10,000 to the game http://www.espnscrum.com/other/rugby/story/202115.html Pakistani team were even sponsored by Coca-Cola

old mate isn't going to give rugby a go http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/09/rugby_no_thanks_says_tim_tebow.html dont think they'll ever convince an nfl to switch considering the pay gap

heres another piece from New York Times - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/26/sports/rugby/26iht-rugby26.html?_r=0 pretty sure Carlin Isles went over to play in a 7's tournament in the same team with 2 of the presidents sons.

good one from AlJazeera about the sport in Sri Lanka, I think I remember reading somewhere that hey have a huge playing population of something like the 2nd biggest in the world after England (don't pull me up on that not entirely sure, might be 7's they were on about).

gonna spam this with some more cause I've found some gold, probs seen this but its about the game in Madagascar, it's actually the national game and their clash with Namibia drew 40,000.

Found another one similar to the Washington Post one in the New York Times about a prison in Buenos Aires using rugby as a development tool for inmates. It's interesting to note the reporter says "of the rugby-playing inmates she photographed, Ms. Heer said five had since been released. All five...

Story from the Washington Post about a rugby team out of a all African-American school and their struggles while they play coming from low socio-economic backgrounds. Their coach started their rugby program from scratch 14 years ago I think and left this year...
