[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 407570, member: 12699"] Rugby in Quebec is actually fairly popular... the problem is it is limited to Montreal and to a larger extent the english speaking community within Quebec. After all Montreal Barbarians, Wanderers, St Anne de Bellevue, Montreal Irish and Beaconsfield are some of the oldest rugby clubs in Canada; however, they fail to draw French speakers to the clubs and are mostly filled with english from the eastern townships. Also hurting Quebec is the fact that rugby is not played in public schools and is only played in english private schools and cegeps such as John Abbott and Dawson College. Quebecois love Canadian Football and rugby is seen as a game for elitist english folk. Their are no francophone universities fielding teams either. [/QUOTE]
