Rugby is booming and providing a considerable economic boost to the Southern Hemisphere. The results of a MasterCard study on the Tri Nations Championship, an annual international Rugby union competition held between Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, show that the 2010 Tri Nations will contribute US$174.3 million to the sport and leisure economy across the Southern Hemisphere. The report also forecasts a significant positive economic impact from the addition of Argentina to the competition in 2012.
