You're wrong about Georgia, at least. Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/07/2011 11:46:13 PM
Just because a few idiots get together and create a club doesn't mean the nation they live in follows it. No one in Russia follows rugby AT ALL, and the same can be said generally for the United States, even though those are two countries listed. To the list of "the country doesn't know or care they participate" we can add Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan (really absolutely certain about this one), Moldova, Georgia, and China.

Take a look at the Wikipedia article on Rugby in Georgia (yes, there is one). Obviously it's not like the countries that have a long tradition in rugby, but Georgia has participated in rugby World Cups, and apparently the sport is the second most popular in the country, and the most popular in some regions.

And as for Moldova, don't forget that rugby is quite popular in Romania, which would help at least in the Romanian-speaking parts of Moldova.

Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM 519 Views
Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 755 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 614 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 739 Views
Obviously not, but then American culture is projected in so many ways. Legolas - 09/07/2011 04:37:27 PM 721 Views

All of them. Although Motown was a guess and I tossed a coin for souvlaki. *NM* Rebekah - 08/07/2011 05:54:30 PM 304 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 255 Views
8/10 – answers typed before looking. Tim - 08/07/2011 11:57:17 PM 568 Views
