Team – South London Rugby Football Club
Welcome to the Team tag page – the hub for everything about our rugby squads. Whether you’re chasing a player story, a match preview, or a behind‑the‑scenes look at how a side prepares, this is the spot that pulls it all together. It’s like a quick‑access shelf for the posts that talk about rugby teams.
What you’ll find here
We’ve gathered articles that put a team in the spotlight. For example, the piece on Sophie de Goede celebrates a star player leading Canada to a World Cup final, which is pure team inspiration. There are guides like “How to find a rugby sevens club in East London?” that help you locate local squads. We also cover questions about size, strength, and the role of different positions – all framed around how a player fits into a team setup.
Other posts dig into bigger ideas. “Has professionalism changed world rugby for better or worse?” looks at how the sport’s structure affects every club, from grassroots teams to elite outfits. “Why don’t we play rugby in America?” and “What American colleges play rugby?” examine how teams grow in new markets. Even opinion pieces like “Is Rugby boring to watch?” talk about the fan experience of watching a team in action.
