What a load of flaming Boll*cks!! This article is not true that much I know for sure
Gosh, these SA/SA Cypriots really love themselves!!

The SA Cypriots did play a pivotal part in jump starting the sport.
But I think the article over exaggerates their contributions.

Now that is an understatement! I reckon that the two ENGLISH guys who were very much at the start of it all would not be very happy! (I know I would be a wee bit p&ssed off if someone else came along to claim my glory!!)

Well.. this was a South African newspaper article after all.
They cashed in on some ex pats.
I'm sure the English would've done the same.

Either way, its publicity for Cyprus rugby.

[Get Real!]

Even if Cyprus were to beat the “All Blacks” rugby would still generate very little interest here!

That's a little like what they said about tennis when Bagdhatis made the final of the Australian Open. I remember one article from the time saying that there were only 53 tennis courts on the entire island.

If Cyprus made the rugby world cup believe me it would be a big deal.

Rugby doesn't even make the world's top ten most popular sports list.

1.Football world cup
2.Olympics
3.Rugby world cup

Yes, in that order.

In a statistic that might surprise people outside traditional rugby hotbeds, the Cup's worldwide TV audience exceeded 3 billion four years ago. Although shy of the most recent soccer World Cup (30 billion for all matches) and Summer Olympics (4 billion), it's still No. 3 on the list, For perspective, the Super Bowl in February drew about 100 million global viewers (with 93 million in the U.S.).
