Polish Rugby Union
There was no national league but only 5 regional divisions which were meant to determine who shall play in the top flight which was to be established later on.In 1921, Louis Amblard, a Frenchman, set up the first Polish rugby club called "The White Eagles".[2] The tragic events of World War II, the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact etc., meant that the growth of Polish rugby was retarded until the 1950s.[2] During World War II, there were occasional games between allied POWs in German camps in Poland.[3] Polish rugby arguably achieved its greatest success in the late 1970s when the national team beat Italy, Spain and the USSR, and also held Romania to a 37–21 win in 1977.[5] The Cold War frequently intruded – for example in the 1984 FIRA Championships, in the game against France, Poland demanded the removal of the French players Didier Camberabero, Henri Sanz and the Brive RFC centre Yves Fouget, because as members of the French armed forces, they were considered to be a security risk.In addition, a number of Poles returning from jobs in the British Isles and France, have carried the game back with them.[8] The PRU organises regular one day sevens tournaments over the spring/summer with teams travelling from all over the country.Despite this rugby sevens is making good headway, and the national team regularly competes in tournaments.
