Our club was born and is growing up around a philosophy that is still very clear to all its members: We are not here to compete and win, but to have fun with friends and School mates, sharing a common hobby: the sport of rugby. Therefore, there are several key issues that must be highlighted:

Academic Burden

  • Studies have all the priority: training time-tables, competitions, etc. are subordinated to lectures and examinations. We practice rugby to be able to carry on our shoulders the heavy academic burden of our School.
  • Friendship is above performance: The secondary target of sporting victory is subordinated to the main one of to have fun, know people and develop friendship links with people who study, most of them, the same degree. Thus, social activities of the club have, at least, the same importance than the sporting ones.
  • On a rugby pitch there is room for everyone: High fitness or technical qualities are not asked to anyone to join the club, just commitment and willingness to improve.
