Germany is a third-tier Rugby Union playing nation. Germany currently plays at the second level of European rugby but has never managed to qualify for the Rugby World Cup. The national team first played in 1927, with Rugby Union in Germany being administered by the Deutscher Rugby-Verband.

The German national team regularly competes in the European Nations Cup, the senior men's rugby tournament for European nations below the Six Nations. Following victory in Division 2A of that tournament in 2007–08, Germany competed in Division One, the top tier of the European Nations Cup, where it suffered defeat in every game and relegation.

Germany's greatest achievement in men's rugby is arguably the silver medal won at the 1900 Olympic Games.

Germanys declared aim was originally to qualify for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, but it has since lowered this ambition to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.

I played a bit Rugby back then until I fucked up my knee. Most of the clubs are from university cities, consisting of french / irish / uk students. So there's not much consitency because they head off after they finished their studies.

Ended up going to Kennedys for both the rugby (yawn) and the Liverpool game.

Tried Killians but it looked like a shithole.

Spent most of the weekend in proper pubs, thank fuck.

And is it worth the visit?

Besides the obviously enticing guarantee of drunken debauchery?
