The Tanzania national rugby union team represents Tanzania in international rugby union. They are known as the Twigas (giraffes). Tanzania are a member of the International Rugby Board (IRB), and have yet to play in a Rugby World Cup tournament. Tanzania played their first international in 2004, defeating Burundi. Tanzania won the CAR Castel Cup in 2006.
Scott Hollins has appeared for Tanzania on a few occasions and looked to be a rising star for the country before suffering a career ending broken leg.
Tanzania won the 2007 CAR Castel Cup Division 2, South Zone, Pool A tournament held in Arusha late June. The 'Twiggas' defeated Mayotte 18-11 on June 26 and Rwanda 53-6 on June 30. Burundi were unable to send their team. Tanzania went on to play Botswana, the winner of South Zone, Pool B, in Gaborone on 18 August. Tanzania lost 14-37
