THE OFFICIAL HOME OF
DURHAM UNIVERSITY RFC
1ST XV
BUCS SUPER RUGBY
Our first team competes in the BUCS Super League, the most prestigious university rugby tournament in the UK. We have a proven track record of success, with championship titles won and a strong commitment to developing our players both on and off the field.
The 1st XV won this title back in 2019/20 and topped the league again in 21/22. We continue to compete at the top end of this division and our programme is a breeding ground for up and coming premiership talent.
Marcus Rhodes captains the side this year, supported by vice captains Charlie Coe and Harry Willard. With many young players making the step up to BUCS Super Rugby this year, the club is incredibly optimistic for a strong season and a strong foundation for the following seasons.
