New to Rugby ?

Do you like challenges? Love making new best friends? Want to discover how strong, fast and persevering your body can be? Then KCLWRFC is the place for you! Rugby is an awesome sport, because it doesn't matter if you're tall, short, fast, slow, big or small - there's guaranteed a place for you on the pitch. All we ask is your participation and commitment to the team. 
Come along to one of our training sessions to get addicted. We normally meet up in Waterloo Station and go to the playing grounds at Berrylands together, so ask Captain Lottie for when and where or join our Facebook group. 
We can't wait to see you!

EQUIPMENT

These are the essentials in every rugger player's bag in order to train and play safely and comfortably.

A pair of rugby boots: (from £20 and up, but you might get them cheaper in the sales season). It's normally a good idea to ask the sales person which ones are legal (football boots are not as they have toe studs). In general, rugby boots have larger and rounder aluminium studs compared to football boots.

Gumshield: (from £2 and up). Buy one, drop it in a mug of boiling water for a few minutes and stick it into your mouth to mold it. Done!

Navy shorts: (from £5 and up). Get a pair of rugby shorts and they'll last through pretty much anything. Kooga, Canterbury, etc. have good ones.

Red socks: (2 pairs for £2-3) Since the KCL colours are navy and red, you'll need red socks to complete the look. You can buy red, knee-high football socks for very cheap in most sports shops.

You can get these online, but Sports Direct and Lillywhites are also good places to go.

We will order stash (branded hoodies, polo shirts, jackets, etc.) in mid/late October, where you can buy as much as you like. Ask Louise for more details !

POSITIONS AND RULES

Picture













In rugby union, there are 15 players on the pitch per team. The 1-8 are called the 'forwards' and are generally bigger and stronger than numbers 9-15 which are the 'backs'. The forwards are the main tacklers and make up the scrum, while the backs are quick and ball-carriers.
Each position has its own role in the game, which you can read more about here.

The rules of rugby can be quite complex at times, but it's a game that's easier played than read. The following link may shed some light on the rules (or just make it more confusing), but we will have a theory session to go through them, so don't panic!
