Rugby Club Steaua București is a Romanian semi-professional rugby union club from Ghencea, south-west Bucharest, which will play the 2007-08 season in Romanian Rugby Championship, the first division of Romanian rugby. They are the most successful Romanian rugby union team in the Divizia Națională (24 championship wins). Romanian rugby club teams do not participate in major European competitions because of the obvious value difference between them and the ones from the leading continental countries. Instead, a Romania national rugby union team, composed mainly of Steaua players, participates every year in the European Challenge Cup as București Rugby. The team plays its home matches at Steaua II Stadium, inside the Steaua Sports Complex, right next to the football Ghencea Stadium. The current coach is Marin Moț. ==History== The Steaua Bucharest rugby club was formed in 1948, under the wing of the CSA Steaua București sports club that had been founded by the Romanian Army the previous year.〔 Steaua established crosstown rivalries with Grivita Red Bucharest and Dinamo Bucharest, before winning the team's first Romanian Cup in 1950. The team won the league and cup double in 1953 and by the late 1950s Steaua was winning domestic titles with regularity. Over the years the team has also claimed success at the European Championships, winning six gold medals, three silver and one bronze.〔 Steaua has produced several players that have represented the Romanian national rugby team including Daniel Barbu, Ionescu Alexandru Penciu, Rene Chiriac, Paul Ciobănel, Adrian Mateescu, Mircea Braga, and Răducu Durbac.〔 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「CSA Steaua București (rugby)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
