I would guess the biggest in name is the Southerners Sports Club?! This could be a very controversial statement so I stand corrected if I'm wrong? http://www.southerners-bangkok.com/

Part of the Southerners, there is also Touch Rugby at NIST (New International School of Thailand) on Sukhumvit Soi 15 most Saturday mornings - 10am to 12pm - open to anyone who is up for a good run or burnout as the case may be! Take photo I.D, 100baht to help cover costs of field and water bottle!

Then the old rivals, fresh from victory in September, the Bangkok Bangers RFC. These guys have 6 very admirable objectives: To Provide a fun rugby competition for older expats in Thailand. Provide a platform for the rugby community in Thailand. Have regular social events. Invite the Thai community to join in to promote the sport. Set up a Thailand National competition (with Phuket, Pattaya etc.). Eventually host an Asia Pacific Golden Oldies Festival!!

Comment by Henry D. on March 9, 2010 at 12:44pm: Urgent !!! I need an invitation for my agents abroad so that they could organised teams to come here to compete. So please would somebody provide me with infos.

Comment by Roger F on February 8, 2010 at 4:06pm: After the first weekend of the six Nations I would say France look the best team. England managed to beat Wales after far too many mistakes on both sides, who knows what the result would have been without the Welsh sin binning. The Ireland Italy match was lacking in fire and enthusisam.
All sides can and probably will improve so keep watching!!

Comment by Chris Fuggle on February 3, 2010 at 8:02am: A fantasy rugby website has just been set up and it needs testing – apart from being fun and a sport we all love, it would be great to help out the guys that have set it up.

This is the link below, please free to create a team and let us know what you think.

Comment by Chris Fuggle on July 24, 2009 at 7:53pm: REMINDER...... Saturday morning TOUCH

For the month of July weekend touch is on Saturdays from 10am – 12pm (midday) at KIS International School.

The address is Muban Kesinee Ville, Pracha-Utit Road, Huay Kwang. The nearest public transport is Thailand Cultural Centre MRT station, you can take a taxi (or motorbike) from there (5-10 mins).

If you are coming by car or taxi, from Ekamai, head North towards Petchburi, cross Petchburi, keep going, cross Rama 9. Keep the entrance to the highway on the right, and continue in the left lane. Turn left at the lights (this is Pracha-Utit) and turn right into the Muban after about 4 km, just past a Tesco express. The school is on the left around 200 meters into the Muban and the field is right in the front.

Comment by Dana Piggott on February 14, 2009 at 2:09pm: Good to see the Rugby Super 14 season started again..Half price drinks to anyone wearing a S14 rugby jersey at the Robin Hood Pub on Sukhumvit Soi 33/1 during game screenings!

Also good to see the Auckland Blues kick the Western Force in opening game..WAHOO!

Comment by Roger F on February 13, 2009 at 6:16pm: Wales have to be favourites, but Ireland or maybe England could suprise. France may still beat Wales and leave no side undefeated.
