History
Le Rugbynistère is a French website about rugby. The name "Rugbynistère" is made of the words "rugby" and ministry (ministère in French), put together to create the Ministry of Rugby. The website was released in 2008, November, and born thanks to the will of two friends to share their passion, both for rugby and the web : Maxime Rouquié (rugby referee) and Nicolas Rousse (rugby player). The goal was to create a perpetual place to share with other rugby fans like we do after the games around the pitch. People can cross react after, before or during the games, using Facebook, or directly on the website.
The Rugbynistère is now visited by several thousands of readers each month, and is still growing.

Rugby Community (Social network)
