It won six of its eight competitive games, including all four home games, and all three friendlies. It played Switzerland twice, to contest the newly created ''Alpencup'', which remained with Germany on both occasions.〔(Deutsche U21-Auswahl soll Alpencup verteidigen ) totalrugby.de, published: 27 September 2008, accessed: 27 March 2010〕 With over 8,000 spectators, Germany's home game against the Netherlands in Hanover, at the Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion, achieved the best crowd figures for a rugby match in Germany since the pre-Second World War days.〔(Germany - Netherlands report ) totalrugby.de, accessed: 28 March 2010〕 Germany went into its campaign unbeaten at home, having last lost on 12 November 2000, to the Ukraine.
