Rugby, Local

Naturally, I have to start with a link to the Western Suburbs Rugby Football Club, my own club in Fairfax County, Virginia. Established in 1977, our colors are black and white. Our Old Boys side wears solid black because, I was told, it makes us look "bigger." I think it's because black is slimming. I was responsible for this web site for five years, so there's a lot of me on it.

Next up comes the Potomac Rugby Union, based in Washington, D.C. Listed here for completeness only, it's just a list of phone numbers and addresses.

Territorially speaking we come to the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union, the next level up. Western Suburbs is a Division II men's club within MARFU. To see how we're doing currently, click on "Men's Fifteens" and check out the standings.

Finally, at the top, is USA Rugby Football Union, the main reason why we'll always be the sleeping giants of rugby.
