Student rugby union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Student rugby is a collegiate version of rugby union. It is played throughout universities and institutes on the island of Ireland, as well as throughout Britain.
Unlike most Irish university sports, collegiate club rugby is not administered by the National Collegiate Athletic Association or university athletic departments and is instead regulated by IRFU and club rec departments. Although full 15-a-side rugby union is clearly stressed in the leagues, the sevens variants can be routinely seen. Student rugby represents this first level competitiveness in the relatively small Irish system.
