Rugby union in Malawi

[1] Rugby union in Malawi, and its predecessor state, Nyasaland, is a minor sport, albeit one with a long history.

The current Malawi National Team (MARU) and Ndirlande Impala Rugby Club in Blantyre are sponsored by MeProjector.com.

Albeit, Rugby in Malawi has frequently been haphazard, for example, Blantyre RFC once undertook a tour to Mauritius.

[2] This meant that it did not achieve the popularity it should have done amongst native black Malawians and is still dominated by whites and ex-pats mainly in and around Blantyre.

[2] With Malawi now back into the international fold, the first training squad was selected for tests against Swaziland and Lesotho in May 2015.
