Georgia Rugby Team
The Georgia national rugby team, also known by fans as The Lelos and The Borjgalosnebi, represent the country of Georgia in the Rugby Europe Championship and the Rugby World Cup. Due to the success of the Georgia Rugby team (they've won the Rugby Europe Championship 17 times), Georgia is considered to be one of the world's fastest-growing rugby nations and one of the world's most-improved sides.
Throughout the early 20th century, there were a number of attempts to introduce rugby union to Georgia. However, the Georgia Rugby Union was not founded until 1964 and it remained part of the Soviet Union's rugby federation until the late 1980s. When Georgia first declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the team initially struggled for games. However, they joined World Rugby in 1992 and began to play more regularly.
By the turn of the millennium, the Georgia Rugby team had become a force in the Rugby Europe Championship (after France and Italy dropped out). Since 2007, the side have never finished lower than second in the competition. On top of this, since 2003, the Georgia Rugby team have also qualified for every edition of the Rugby World Cup. Although they've never advanced past the pools stage of the tournament, they did win two matches in the 2015 edition.
Although the Georgia Rugby team does not contain many household names, the Georgia squad does still feature several established players who feature in top European leagues. In fact, there's a strong link between rugby in Georgia and the French rugby set-up. As a result, many of Georgia's top players such as Davit Niniashvili, Vasil Lobzhanidze and Gela Aprasidze all play in the Top 14.
