The SV Studentenstadt Freimann is a German rugby union from Munich, currently playing in the 2nd Rugby-Bundesliga. It is based in the "Studentenstadt" in Munich, the "student city". The club is part of a larger student club, the "SportVerein der Studentenstadt Freimann e.V", which offers other sports like association football, tennis and volleyball. Its nickname is StuSta Rugby. History. A club largely made up of German and international students, "StuSta" took out its first Bavarian rugby union championship in 2002, winning the Regionalliga Bayern, repeating this success in 2004. Following this success, the club earned promotion  to the 2nd Rugby-Bundesliga South/West in 2004, the second tier of German rugby. After struggling against relegation for the first three seasons there, the team has established itself as a mid-table side. In this league, it competes with local rival München RFC, a former Rugby-Bundesliga club. It took "StuSta" until May 2008 however, to win a game against the other Munich club. The club suffered relegation at the end of the 2010–11 season and had to drop down to the 3rd Liga South/West for the following year. The team won the southern division of the  league but was knocked out in the semi finals and initially missed out on promotion. However, a league expansion saw the club return to the 2nd Bundesliga for 2012–13. In the 2012–13 season, in the 2nd Bundesliga, the club finished in the upper half of the table and qualified for the play-offs for the DRV-Pokal. The club advanced to the semi finals of the play-offs after victory over RC Leipzig but forfeited its game there, with opposition TSV Handschuhsheim thereby automatically advancing to the final. The club qualified for the south-west division of the Liga-Pokal  in 2013–14 and received a bye for the first round of the play-offs after winning its division and advanced to the final against Neckarsulmer SU where it lost 10–15. In the 2014–15 season the club finished fifth in the south-west group of the DRV-Pokal and was knocked out by Heidelberger TV in the quarter finals of the play-offs after a first round victory over TSV Victoria Linden. The second team plays in the now fourth tier Regionalliga Bayern, and the newly founded women's team plays in the second tier Regionalliga South/West. Recent seasons. Recent  seasons of the club:
