Rugby is a sports game that’s played around the world in various countries. Just like how football has the UEFA champions league, Rugby has it’s own international level of competition called International Rugby board. Tanzania is a member of the IRB but has yet to play in the Rugby world cup.

Tanzania’s national rugby union team is known as the Twigas and the team represents Tanzania in International games. The teams ground is currently in Arusha, Friedkin Recreation Ground and the teams coach is Mike Beckner.

In national levels, there are 4 rugby clubs registered under the Tanzania Rugby Union. One of the clubs is known as The Arusha Rhinos Rugby Football Club which is based in Arusha. Another Rugby club is the Dar es Salaam Leopards RFC based in Dar es Salaam and it’s one of the oldest clubs in Tanzania.

It’s very rare to hear news about rugby matches in the country because it’s not the most popular sports loved by the natives. However, this sport does exist in Tanzania and it’s about time it receives recognition from the people. It’s a sport where you have exceptional strong men in opposing teams, and each team can carry, pass or kick the ball to the end zone to score as many points as possible. The team scoring the greater number of points is the winner of the match. It’s truly an interesting game and hopefully you can catch one rugby game for yourself.
