Rugby's limited to the former British Colonies, mostly, right? Softball had this same problem when it was in the Olympics. It's a massive sport in the U.S., and basically nowhere else. Australia was the only country that even gave us a hard time.

My guess would be it's a contact sport girls don't play in most places, too. American Football is partially based on Rugby, iirc, and girls don't play it here- boys only.

Plus France, Italy, Argentina & Japan. Then there are teams that are better than you'd think, but still pretty shit in the grand scheme of things like Georgia & Romania
