Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union is currently a minor sport in India. However it is a fast growing sport as some Indian sporting clubs are beginning to embrace the game. It is the second most popular winter sport after association football in India, which itself trails greatly in popularity to cricket and field hockey. India is rated 85th as of April 1, 2010, with 17,874 registered players, 3276 of whom are female. Like other sports founded in England and brought to India during the British Raj such as cricket, rugby union has a long history in India. The earliest trace of Rugby Football in India dates back to a scratch match or two played in Calcutta and Madras during the visit of H.M.S. Galatea in 1871. The teak goal posts used on the occasion of the Calcutta Match were afterward used by the C.F.C. up to at least 1886. The first recorded match was played on Christmas day 1872, at CFC in Calcutta, it was played between England and a combined team of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The game caught on and had to be repeated within the week.
