The Rugby Canada Super League (RCSL or Super League) was a national, semi-professional rugby union competition in Canada. The league represented the second level of domestic rugby union in Canada, and the highest level wholly indigenous to Canada. In terms of seniority it rested immediately beneath the IRB sponsored North America 4, a former US/Canadian cross-border competition in which two Canadian teams (Canada East and Canada West) took part. In early 2009, after 11 seasons of Super League play, Rugby Canada decided to disband the RCSL in the wake of the establishment of the Americas Rugby Championship, the successor to the North America 4. The RCSL was replaced by the Canadian Rugby Championship and the Rugby Canada National Junior Championship, which absorbed the majority of the RCSL teams. Most players took part in RCSL ("Super League") on an amateur basis. ==Establishment== The competition was established in 1998 and has been played since on an annual basis. It is considered to be Canada's premier wholly domestic rugby competition. The Super League clubs draw from provincial unions, and the clubs are divided into two divisions – Eastern and Western. There are currently 13 teams in competition. In addition, Rugby Canada organise a RCSL junior competition featuring 12 teams, as well as the National Women's League which follows a broadly similar template, albeit with fewer teams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rugby Canada Super League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
