Men's Rugby Club

As one of the biggest clubs at the university, we have a strong ethos on ensuring everyone can join a team

The University of Portsmouth Men’s Rugby Club welcomes players of all abilities to play in one of their five teams. The club has a strong ethos on ensuring everyone can join a team and play in fixtures which has led to us becoming one of the biggest clubs at the university.
