Brazil's women's rugby team, known as the Yaras, has played 16 Tests since their inception, achieving five wins. Their historic victory against Colombia in June secured their qualification for the Rugby World Cup, making Brazil the first South American country to compete in this tournament. The team's journey began in 2008 but faced challenges, leading to an 11-year hiatus. The revival in 2019 focused on the potential for World Cup qualification. Coimbra recalls the emotional moment of their first win, which paved the way for their qualification, surprising her beyond just winning the game.
"Brazil will be the first South American country to compete in the women's Rugby World Cup, representing a significant achievement for their team and region."
"Eshyllen Coimbra, the team captain, expressed her disbelief at the historic victory against Colombia, marking the first win for Brazil's women's rugby team after several losses."
