while, at first, the NRL Established itself as the premier rugby competition in North america, especially after the 1923 rugby world cup win, the 1930s would see serious competition to that claim when A rival league, The American rugby football championship, was born in 1934. born out of an association of west coast rugby unions, the ARFC quickly gained prominence by offering better salaries and working conditions to top college stars as well as attracting many stars of the NRL to their clubs established in luxurious places like California and rugby hotbeds in Texas, Colorado and oklahoma. this Marked the beginning of a tumultuous time in American rugby history: "The rugby wars", a time characterised by ferocious bidding wars and, later, clubs of both pyramids losing top players to the U.S army during the Pacific war against imperial Japan, who attacked pearl harbor after they were pushed out of china at the end of the second sino-japanese war.
