Student rugby is so much better than club rugby
You did your degree somewhere else and the move to Amsterdam after your studies is a well-worn path, which is great news for us. You won't drop straight into the youngest crew, but you'll find your level fast and your teammates faster. Bring whatever you learned at your old club, and you'll have a competitive side and a fixture waiting. Rugby Amsterdam.

Making a comeback
Life, work or a few injuries got in the way and you haven't played in years. Half the club knows the feeling, so there's no pressure to be match-fit on day one. Come back at your own pace through the lower sides, shake off the rust with people doing the same, and work your way up as far as you fancy. One of the most historic rugby clubs in Amsterdam.
