Club Rugby Form XVs

There are just three weeks remaining in the senior club rugby season, which means good form is more important now than it has been previously. Soon lucrative silverware is on the line.

Defending Jubilee Cup champions Old Boys University have a chance to defend their title having reached the semi-finals with a round to spare.

Billy Goats Jack Green and Matt Fowler are especially excited using law lectures to supply Club Rugby with some interesting form XVs. Club Rugby strongly endorses this waste of study time and decided to join in on the fun by supplying a few form XVs of our own and casting the opinion of referee and leading contributor Scott MacLean for a ‘one from each club XV’. The results of fierce debate are below.

Tell us what you think in the comments here in the article or on the Facebook thread and Lovelocks Bar and Motor Doctors WOF vouchers (don’t drink and drive) from our valued supporters are up for grabs for the most compelling argument for or against other players or another Form XV category not listed here!
