I don't know a whole lot about rugby union, I've just started playing it but I'm curious, why is there no team representing Germany in the Rugby World Cup this year? I know there are a lot of countries where people do actually play rugby and there's got to be Germans, so why are they along with some other nations not in it? Are there some sort of qualifying knock-out rounds like in football (soccer) ? Or is the interest level just not high enough? I find it hard to believe that the latter would be the case.
