Rugby (Mens)

We are one of the biggest and most successful clubs at the Uni, and widely encourage new players to join! Find out more information below!

With over 100 years since our formation, we are one of the oldest and proudest sports clubs at the university. Currently, we have two competitive teams, with our 1st XV playing in BUCS Western Tier 1 after a successful league win and promotion last year and our 2nd XV playing in BUCS Western 4A. After achieving this success last year, we are now a Team Southampton Performance Club, providing access to regular gym sessions alongside our existing professional coaching. The club is proud of its 'one club' ethos, which is reflected in our competitive joint training sessions and socials which are available for all members. No matter your rugby experience, our club has something to offer you. Whether you are looking to play in BUCS Rugby at the highest level in the university, or simply to learn and develop as a player through our 3XV which regularly competes within the internal IM league, our primary goal is to help you get the most out of your university rugby experience. If you have any questions or want to find out more, contact us on our social media or register to express your interest:
