Slovakia National Rugby Union Team
The Slovakia national rugby union team has yet to qualify for a Rugby World Cup. They are currently affiliated to FIRA-AER, but not yet to World Rugby. History Slovakia played their first match in 2006 against the Principality of Monaco and lost 0-6. However, the points went to them after it was discovered that Monaco had used ineligible players. In 2009, they withdrew from European competition for financial reasons, after having been unable to secure sponsorship. However, they returned to European competition in 2010, playing in the 2010–12 European Nations Cup Third Division. The new dynamic has been supported by the city of Bratislava and the Government of Slovakia.

FIRA - Association Of European Rugby
Rugby Europe is the administrative body for rugby union in Europe. It was formed in 1999 to promote, develop, organise, and administer the game of rugby in Europe under the authority of World Rugby (the sport's global governing body). However, it is not responsible for the organisation of the Six Nations Championship or the competitions run by European Professional Club Rugby (the European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup, Challenge Cup). The predecessor to Rugby Europe was the Fédération Internationale de Rugby Amateur (FIRA), which was established in 1934 to administer rugby union in Europe outside the authority of the International Rugby Football Board (as World Rugby was then called), and came to spread outside the continent. FIRA agreed to come under the auspices of World Rugby in the 1990s, and appended 'Association Européenne de Rugby' to its name in a return to being a European body. In 2014 the organisation was renamed Rugby Europe as part of a re-b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rugby Union In Austria
Rugby union in Austria is a minor but growing sport. The national team is currently ranked 79th in the World Rugby's world rankings, which ranks only the top ninety-five countries. Traditionally, Austrian rugby has been strongest amongst students, particularly in Vienna. Bath, Richard (ed.) ''The Complete Book of Rugby'' (Seven Oaks Ltd, 1997 ) p63 However, it has faced fierce competition from soccer and skiing. Governing body The governing body for Austria is Rugby Österreich, which was founded in 1990, and affiliated to the IRB in 1992. History Like neighbouring Germany, Austrian rugby has a surprisingly long history, dating back to 1900 , but the game's English image meant that its development was hindered by the events of the early 20th Century, particularly the two world wars, and the rise of two major far right movements. The first documented game of rugby played in Austria took place on 14 April 1912. The sport was being brought to Austria by two Englishmen hoping to ...

Rugby Union In Slovakia
Rugby union in Slovakia is a minor but growing sport. Governing body The governing body is the Slovak Rugby Union. History Rugby union was introduced to Czechoslovakia (as it was then) by the Czech/ Moravian writer Ondřej Sekora, when he returned from living in France in 1926, with a rugby ball and set of rules.Bath, Richard (ed.) ''The Complete Book of Rugby'' (Seven Oaks Ltd, 1997 ) p66Richards p129 It developed during the interbellum, but was severely disrupted by the tribulations of World War II, and the Cold War. Although Slovakia was under the aegis of Czechoslovak rugby bodies, the centre of gravity was firmly in Bohemia and to a lesser extent Moravia, with Slovakia finishing a distant third in terms of participation. However, rugby union was being played in Bratislava by ŠK Slávia Bratislava as early as 1927. Czechoslovakia was a founder member of FIRA in 1934, and joined the IRB in 1988.

Czechoslovakia National Rugby Union Team
The Czechoslovakia national rugby union team was the national rugby team of Czechoslovakia, before the country was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. They participated in qualifiers for the 1991 Rugby World Cup, but did not qualify. History A Czechoslovak international team including players from an Austrian club called Wiener Amateure as well as players from the Slavia Bratislava club first played against Romania in 1927, but the match is seen as unofficial, since the Czechoslovak Rugby Union was only formed in 1928. They were captained by one František Ruber, who incidentally was a very good friend of Ondřej Sekora. Their first official match was against Germany in Leipzig in 1931. In 1934 they were among the founding members of FIRA (as it was then known) along with France, Italy, Spain, Catalonia, Romania and Germany. In 1956 they took on European giants France in Toulouse, losing by a respectable 3–28, which is rather remarkable, as rugby in Czechoslovakia was c ...
