World Cup Record
Zambia were not invited to the original world cup in 1987 in New Zealand. They did not enter the first two tournaments that were open to qualification in 1991 and 1995. They first attempted to qualify for the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Between then and RWC 2011 qualification attempts have been very unsuccessful, with elimination coming in the 1st Round every time. The most successful attempt was for the RWC 2007 were they got through their group as winners only to be beaten by Senegal in a playoff for a place in Round 2.

Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or record:
“Reason is mans faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is mans ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is mans instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is mans instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (19001980)
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (19211990)
“Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body. He showed us that just because music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual. He had the vision and the talent to make a pop record that contained the whole world.”
—Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949)
