Where In The World.....?

The Brumbies were given a number of names of rugby-playing nations of the world. These were some of the nations that are recognised by the world governing body of Rugby Union, the International Rugby Board (IRB), as member unions but did not qualify for RWC 2011. We divided them up amongst our team. I was given the nations listed below:
Hong Kong, Cayman Island and Chile. This is what I found -


1. Chile



2. The Continent for Chile is South America.


3. The Capital city for Chile is Santiago.

4. Estimated total population in early 2011: 17,000,000. Two thirds of the population is concentrated in the central zone.

  1. This is a very interesting way to learn geography. I have been to Santiago, Chile and to Georgetown on Grand Cayman Island, but I have never been to Hong Kong. Nor have I been to New Zealand. I also have never seen a Rugby game.

    I found your post very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
