Riga and Latvia were introduced to rugby only in 1960 by Vladimirs Martinsons. He was an inhabitant of Riga but went to study in the Highest Technical school in Moscow.
(Still one should admit that already in 30ies there was a rugby game played in Riga by British sailors but Latvians did not take this example into consideration.)
