Raffles Rugby Union Information

The Raffles Rugby Union (RRU) was started by a group of Rafflesian ruggers who had lived and breathed rugby during a formative period of their lives. Each can put his hand on his heart and say that rugby has played a big part in shaping him into who he is today - a gentleman and leader in his own right who appreciates the value of discipline, teamwork and loyalty. Every RI rugger has stories of memorable battles lost and won on the field as he and his team mates fought tooth and nail to bring glory to RI, cheered on by hundreds of Rafflesians. While every RRU founding member is a proud Rafflesian, he understands, as only a RI rugger can, that to have been a part of the RI rugby fraternity, is an honour. With over a hundred years of history, RI rugby is not only synonymous with the school's illustrious sporting tradition, but also a commanding force, uniting Rafflesians across generations. The conviction that rugby is a powerful character-building tool for boys and a deep-seated desire to preserve the RI Rugby Team's time-honoured role in uniting Rafflesians are the driving forces behind RRU. Today, RRU membership has expanded to include the larger Rafflesian community and other well-wishes. We believe in the transformative power of rugby and aim to grow the sport in Singapore by making it accessible to young boys from all walks of life who are interested to pick up the sport. If you have donned the RI rugby jersey to butt heads in scrums and ruck, survived hours under rain or shine while cheering R-A-F-F-L-E-S in support of the RI rugby team, or simply love what we do here at the RRU, we invite you to sign up here and be a proud RRU member today!
