The best sources to find out about rugby in China (in Chinese) are these 2 websites.
http://www.52rugby.com/
http://www.hirugby.com/bbs/forum.php

They're a lot better than anything produced by the national union (who are pretty useless at getting any info out about anything they do tbh)

By the way, are there any artefacts about Palla Ovale?
Booklet, poster, photos, newspaper reports, movie reel?

[Canalina Profile]

Sorry, I've seen your question just now.
I thought to remember the existence of a version of the most famous italian rugby poster (this one http://images.delcampe.com/img_large/au ... 72_001.jpg) with the mark Federazione Italiana Palla Ovale, but now I can't find it. Maybe my memory is wrong.
I've searched a bit on https://www.facebook.com/museodelrugbyitaliano , but I haven't found anything. All the memorabilia are marked Federazione Italiana Rugby, except this 1941 fanzine by Federazione Italiana Rugbi https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hp ... e=5670445D

Minor problem but, what's the point of this?


The list of upcoming matches on World Rugby website. XV, 7s, men and women mixed together with no clues of the code and sex of every match. It's not the bigger problem in the world, I know, but how can't they see and solve it? A different color in the background of XV and 7s matches could be a possible, simple solution.
Also, that general dark blue background present in the whole site is elegant at the first sight and boring from the second sight forward

[FLIDTA RISXVA Profile Website]

Mate,
you are talking about mixing sexes and game versions, and
a need to differentiate them by colour

But the very same people (office, I mean)
can't page-set | print a Lawbook correctly
since (if I'm not mixing years) 2010

Just check yourself = http://laws.worldrugby.org/

12 languages, all written from left to right
eg http://laws.worldrugby.org/downloads/Wo ... 015_IT.pdf

but in every one: odd pages are on the left and evens on the right,
ie vice versa, contrary to centuries-long tradition and common sense

They could | still can just start a numbering with *Introduzione* cover
but you know ... rugby is somehow a unique sport and has its own values

I'm sure it's a great article. One look at that map and you can tell who wrote it, it's like a signature!

Mestre, when I posted this on 7 Jan 2016
those three languages had been deleted

Since then they have restored them

Thanks FR. did not realise your post was from Jan 7th.

The portuguese translation was not updated at that time, so the WR waited for the 2016 translation to reactivate it.
