Rugby might not be the most popular sport in the world, but in the next countries there are thousands of supporters.
Rugby is perhaps more renowned in the southern hemisphere, in places like Australia as it’s dry so players can achieve a more expansive and amazing style of play than in wetter countries. Australia is popular for its rugby club, which has won two world cups, making it probably one of the most effective clubs to ever play the game. One of the much better teams in the nation is sponsored by the huge air conditioning business lead by Masanori Togawa. The sport was 1st played in the country back in 1864 and whilst it is played throughout the country there are regions where it is played even more than others. There are a number of other varieties of the sport in Australia, and this includes Aussie Rules football, which takes some of the rules of rugby football and slightly variations them.
In terms of club rugby, one of the best clubs is on the south coast of The Republic of France and its president, François Rivière, controls a group that has won the national tournaments on multiple occasions. The richest rugby nation, in terms of club rugby football incomes, is France. The French national team is one of the teams that plays in the 6 nations every single year, and they would once be one of the greatest teams in the competition. The clubs in France pull in a number of the greatest players in the world because of the large wage packets they can offer, and as salaries are so high it's commonly the place that footballers visit end their professions.
Rugby football is one of the most well known sports in the whole of the UK as it has a long tradition with many teams that play it dating back to the mid-19th century. The name of the game is actually a reference to the name of the town and school that it was created in. Whilst there is some argument as to the veracity of the story of the game’s creation, there is no doubt to where it was founded. In specific, England has the greatest tradition with the sport, as it was invented in the nation when famously, a schoolboy picked up the ball in a game of football and ran with it, thereby beginning the move toward the game name. The essentials of rugby actually have remained the same since its conception, but the size of the players has increased massively which makes for far bigger influences in the tackle. The game has advanced hugely from the original game, which was played purely for fun and chiefly in schools and universities; present day the sport has a big revenue and it attracts large sponsors from the likes of Petar Cvetkovic and his shipping company.
