Rugby in Taiwan
This page is the survey the humanities programme ran in 2019: eighty replies from former players, a list of the schools that have fielded a team, and four reports from that year.
These pieces were written in Chinese and are shown as written.
Eighty replies from former players
Eighty respondents, November 2019, all former players. The percentages are as recorded.
73.8%
do not make their living from rugby
「賺不夠生活、不能當飯吃。」臺灣沒有職業賽事，打球沒有薪水，畢業之後橄欖球就變回興趣。
其餘 26.3% 的人，才把它當成正業。
95.5%
say the game is not taken seriously here
回覆一致指向同一件事：政府與協會沒有完善的規劃，基層培養不易，資源缺乏。
大學畢業後沒有職業隊可以打，制度、福利與就業機會都差，選手的教育與就業輔導不完善。

What Tamkang does about it
- 人文社會班經營球隊的社群，並以攝影記錄球隊。
- 校內舉辦帶式橄欖球比賽，讓沒進球隊的學生也碰得到球。
- 每月的淡江日，在校球員與校友一起打。
- 校史課上講這段歷史。
