Men's Rugby Union
Welcome to the University Men's Rugby Union team
LURFC boasts four teams, four coaches, training and playing facilities of the highest standard and a great, friendly club atmosphere. From beginners to experts LURFC caters for all levels of abilities and experience.
Competitive
All three teams will play in BUCS leagues for 2024/25, with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd teams all participating in the BUCS Northern leagues 1A, 2A, and 3A respectively. We also have a social team.
Training takes place at Wyncote Sports Grounds on Monday and Friday at 7pm.
The club also has the opportunity to compete in arguably the pinnacle of University Rugby, Varsity. Similar to Varsity we also partake in the Christie Championships.
This year we will introduce a social team playing on a mixture of Wednesdays and weekends, catering for anyone who would like to start rugby, get back into rugby or just play socially.
Social events
The social side of LURFC is also taken very seriously. We have weekly socials, monthly AU nights including fancy dress with other teams, the Christmas party and charity events.
