[edit] History
Brazil started playing international rugby union matches in the early 1950s. Their first match was against Chile. Brazil lost the match. Brazil continued playing sides like Chile, Uruguay and Argentina through the 1950s and into the 1960s. In the 1970s, Brazil began playing a more diverse range of sides, including heavyweights France in 1974. From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Brazil mainly contested matches with Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. Brazil returned, and went undefeated for seven matches over a period from 2000 to early 2002. This success has continued as of late, and Brazil have been winning the majority of their games in the 2000s.
