Activity 3: The map below shows the different countries involved in the Rugby World Cup.

Which continent had most teams in the World Cup?

Which continent had the least teams in the World Cup?

Can you suggest any reasons for these patterns?

Activity 4: Geographers and mathematicians have carried out research into whether richer countries do better in sporting events than poorer countries. Do you think this was the case for the 2015 Rugby World Cup? Why/why not?

GDP per capita is a measure of how wealthy a county is per person.

Add map with countries labelled.
