Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "The Victoria Cup is a rugby union competition in Africa. Three teams, Kenya, Uganda (The Rugby Cranes) and Zimbabwe (The Sables) compete for this Cup in a format similar to that of the Tri Nations. The competition is administered by Confederation of African Rugby (CAR). Just as the Bledisloe Cup (Australia and New Zealand), Freedom Cup (New Zealand and South Africa) and Mandela Challenge Plate (Australia and South Africa) have been subsumed into the Tri Nations and as the Calcutta Cup (England and Scotland) is now part of the Six Nations, so the pre-existing Elgon Cup between Kenya and Uganda will, from now on, be played for within this new competition.The competition is well named; two of the competing nations include part of Lake Victoria within their borders whilst the other can claim Victoria Falls as one of its major geographical features. The name also looks to the future; Zambia could possibly be included if the quality of rugby in that country could be raised to its 1960/70's level (Zambia shares the Victoria Falls with Zimbabwe) and Tanzania are also making progress in their domestic competition (Tanzania is the other country that shares Lake Victoria)."@en }
