As unlikely as it may sound, the rugby minnows of Lithuania are still in with a chance of reaching next year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, and owe their position to a remarkable sequence of matches.
The Lithuanians head into their European Nations match against Switzerland this weekend with a chance to create rugby history in becoming the first country to win 18 consecutive tests.
If they do record a likely victory against Switzerland, a team 21 places below them in the IRB World Rankings and whom they beat 33-0 in their last encounter, the men from Vilnius will achieve something not even the All Blacks or Springboks have managed.
Rugby World Cup Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market.
