Rugby union in Macau

Rugby union is a minor sport in Macau.

Macau has a national side, which competes in international competitions, and there is also Macau Rugby Club, which takes part in various competitions [http://www.macaurugby.com/] . Beach rugby and rugby tens tournaments have been held in the territory, and the game benefits from rugby's much stronger presence in neighbouring Hong Kong.
