GEORGIA
Rugby is one of the most popular sports in Georgia. Nicknamed The Lelos or Men of Borjgali, the Georgia National Rugby Team has beaten Namibia in the 2007 RWC for their first ever win in the tournament. They were ranked 13th for the RWC 2015.
The team's nickname, The Lelos, comes from lelo burti, a traditional Georgian sport with strong similarities to rugby. Lelo has been adopted as the Georgian word for "try" (the highest-valued score in rugby). One standard cheer of Georgian rugby union fans is Lelo, Lelo, Sakartvelo (Try, Try, Georgia). Their first ever match were played against Zimbabwe in 1989 where they beat Zimbabwe 16-3.
