This book critically examines how rugby union has developed in
recent years, in nations on the periphery of the sport. Focusing on
people and places on the fringes, it examines contemporary issues
and challenges within the global game. Such a collection is timely,
as the sport's governing body seeks to expand influence and
participation beyond the eight core nations, with the 2019 Rugby
World Cup in Japan being the first time that that tournament has
taken place outside of the core. Presenting case studies from
Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia and the Middle East,
this collection offers an interdisciplinary account of a sport that
is undergoing a period of significant change. Through examination
of topics such as the development of rugby sevens and the growth of
women's rugby, it considers what the future may hold for the sport.
Rugby in Global Perspective is important reading for students of
sport in society, the globalisation of sport, sports studies, sport
development and associated fields. It is also a valuable resource
for academic researchers working in rugby union or sport in the
peripheral rugby nations, as well as those with an interest in
cultural geography, sociology, development studies, events studies,
event management and sport management.
