Rugby Journal Magazine Issue 7 Zurück Ausgabe

In this special issue titled Our Rugby Planet, we travel the globe to discover the impact rugby has in unexpected places. We visit Rwanda, where rugby helps heal the wounds of genocide, and India, where street kids are given a second chance through the sport. In Israel, we explore the kibbutz that once hosted international teams like the Springboks, Wallabies, and Fijians, and in Italy, we find Siena battling the odds on a muddy pitch. Hong Kong's ambitious plan to bring 15s rugby to China takes centre stage, while in North Wales, archdruids are inspiring young girls at Nant Conwy.
Back in England, we head to the Yorkshire Dales to uncover the grassroots secrets of Wharfedale RUFC. Our exclusive interviews feature rugby stars DTH van der Merwe, George Smith, and Fiao'o Fa'amausili. We round off with a deep dive into the statistics of global rugby, breaking down the numbers that shape the sport worldwide.
