Rugby is still new in India which is trying hard to establish a name but the people associated with the game feels more media coverage coupled with government support would help the sport get its' due recognition.

"In this cricket crazy country, most of the people don't know about Rugby. There is no TV coverage or telecast of matches. It's important to make people aware about the game by regular coverage from Doordarshan or private channels," Pramod Khanna, President of Indian Rugby Football Union, told PTI.
