Paraguay National Rugby Union Team



The Paraguay national rugby team is the team governed by the Paraguayan Rugby Union that represents Paraguay in the international rugby competitions organized by the International Rugby Board.

They compete regularly in the South American Rugby Championship, but has yet to qualify for the Rugby World Cup.

Paraguay had the unenviable position on the 1 May 2002, of being beaten by Argentina A by 152-0.[1] In July of the same year, Japan beat Taiwan by an identical margin - 155-3, but unlike Paraguay, Taiwan scored some points in their match.

In the past Paraguay was regularly the 4th team in South American rugby, behind Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.

However recently, in the late 2000's, at both Junior and Senior Levels Brazil has come to compete and beat Paraguay.

The two teams are in a similar position. They easily beat the teams in the South American B Championship in 2008, Peru, Colombia, and Venezula, by 50 points or more. However, in 2009 South American Championship both teams lost by large margins to Chile and Uruguay.
