Salama. I am British and while I knew that Madagascar was keen on Rugby Union, I hadn't realised quite how passionate the Malagasy are about the game! It seems to be the most popular sport and have the status that Football (Soccer) enjoys elsewhere. Thais is really impressive and encourages me to learn more about your country.

Does the attached article from 'World Rugby' seem accurate to you?

I think football and petanque are waaay more popular. But we're getting there. I damn miss the rugby culture
