Overview

2009

The German team earned promotion to the A division of the European championship at the 2009 tournament in southern France. It had won promotion to the elite division of European under-18 rugby for the first time in many years. Germany beat Portugal 11-3 in the final of the B tournament to clinch promotion.
The German team took part in the tournament with the following squad:
In the 2010 edition of the European under-18 rugby union championship, the team, freshly promoted to the A group, pulled off a surprise 44-0 victory over Romania. Germany lost its opening game to eventual runners-up Ireland 20-11, but managed to win its second game, against Romania, 44-0. In its third and final game in the tournament, against Italy for fifth place, Germany lost 18-13. Chris Thau, Publications Manager of the IRB, commented after the Romania game that it was the first time in the almost 40 years he had been watching German national teams, that a German team played world class rugby.
The German team, coached by Jan Ceselka and Christian Lill, took part in the tournament with the following squad:
Germany won its opening game of the 2011, defeating Belgium 27-11 and thereby achieving the teams aim of not being relegated. The team then suffered a heavy 3-87 defeat against Scotland, a game that clearly showed the difference between the standards of rugby between the two nations. In the final game of the tournament, Germany lost 0-40 to Georgia and finished fourth in its division.
