Senior Rugby
The Old Boys-University Club is one of Wellington and New Zealand’s largest clubs, competing in all divisions from Premier club rugby, through to Colts (or under-21), under 85-kilogram weight restricted grades and Women’s rugby.
A number of thriving social or non-training teams add colour and vibrancy to the club. One team, the ‘Teddybears’, is the oldest surviving social team in New Zealand – in existence now for nearly 50 years. Others such as the ‘Pink Ginners’ and ‘Sixty Niners’ have been around for over 40 years and they are still going strong.
