East Germany internationals
Main article : List of German Democratic Republic national rugby union team results East Germany played its first rugby international in 1951 in Bucharest against the Romanians , losing 26-64 . The East Germans played against mostly Eastern Bloc countries , but they did play Netherlands ( once ) , Sweden ( three times ) , Denmark ( twice ) and Luxembourg ( once ) . Their one-game against Luxembourg also happened to be their last , taking place shortly before the reunification of Germany in 1990 .

The East Germany national rugby union team was the representative side of East Germany in rugby union during the country's existence from 1949 to 1990.
