RUGBY IN ARGENTINA...
Rugby in Argentina had its beginnings in the
early 1900’s with the oldest clubs in the nation being inaugurated in Buenos
Aires, La Plata, Rosario, Cordoba, Tucuman and Mendoza. The first rugby match in
Argentina was played in 1873, the game having been brought to South America by
the British, although it was only 26 years later that four clubs in the capital
Buenos Aires got together to form the River Plate Rugby Football Union.
This body, one of the oldest rugby unions in the world,
later became known as the Unión Argentina de Rugby, which became a member of the
International Rugby Board only after being invited to the inaugural Rugby World
Cup in 1987.
Although Rugby has not matched football for popularity in
Argentina, in recent years the impressive results by Los Pumas – the national
side (so named in 1965) – has seen its popularity grow enormously
The domestic game boasts just over 300 clubs and around
25,000 senior players, although many star names have benefited from playing
professionally in Europe.
