The Wild Rugby Academy is a German rugby union institution in Heidelberg, focused on the development of the sport in the region and Germany.[1][2] One of its main aims is to develop players for Germany to be able to participate in the 2015 Rugby World Cup,[3][4] as well as to establish a German team in the European Challenge Cup, the Wild Titans by 2010.[5] The later plan was delayed but a German team is now scheduled to enter the competition from 2011, alongside other academy teams from Russia, Spain and Georgia.[6]
