Governing Body
Czechoslovakia was a founder member of FIRA in 1934, and joined the IRB in 1988.
Traditionally, Czech rugby has centred around a "section of the middle class" in and around Prague, which has been fairly small but fairly loyal to the sport.

Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or body:
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“We are a meadow where the bees hum:
mind and body are almost one”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
