Women's Rugby Club
The University of Portsmouth Women’s Rugby Club love to break stereotypes. If you want to work hard and play hard then we are the team for you. If you’re an experienced rugby player or just fancy trying something new, we are a family of girls that enjoy keeping fit, breaking boundaries and having fun.
