From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lithuania national rugby union team represent Lithuania at rugby union. They are governed by the Lietuvos Regbio Federacija, and have yet to qualify for the Rugby World Cup.
[edit] History
Lithuania is traditionally a country of basketball and football, rugby is still not popular among the lithuanian sport fans. However a 100 percent record so far in their 2007-2008 European Nations Cup Third Division campaign has raised many eyebrows and will almost certainly earn them promotion. The rise in form of the national team is bound to increase the popularity of the sport in Lithuania.
