Rugby union in Saint Kitts and Nevis
Rugby union in Saint Kitts and Nevis is a minor, but growing sport.The British first introduced the game to the islands, and for a number of years it was mainly played by expatriates.[1] Games against visiting ships, and touring sides are common, as well as against neighbouring Caribbean islands.In 2009, International Rugby Board Regional Development Officer Scott Harland visited Saint Kitts and Nevis, and stated that he was impressed by local interest in the game.[2] Harland also said that the sport had suffered from an "expatriate" image but that it was not reflected by the facts on the ground.
