Part 3

Welcome to the Oval Planet

IN THIS PART …

This part of the book explores the various rugby competitions around the globe. We start our tour of planet rugby with a look at the Rugby World Cup, the sport’s crowning jewel, where we offer up all you need to know about the quadrennial tournament, including its history and format, plus some of the most memorable moments dating back to 1987.

Then we explain how the game is controlled worldwide and take you on a tour of the world’s annual international tournaments, including the Six Nations and the Rugby Championship. The interprovincial scene is next, with a glance at Super Rugby, the Heineken Cup, and the United Rugby Championship. We conclude our international sojourn with a peek at the leading domestic leagues in England and France.

Closer to home, we discuss the North American professional and international scene and then focus on the heart and soul of the game, the local club. We finish with a survey of the collegiate, high school, and youth rugby landscape.
