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 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.

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.

Comment by Chris Fuggle on February 13, 2009 at 7:32am: Where's your money for this years tournament?

Comment by Chris Fuggle on December 1, 2008 at 5:42pm: Hi Mark, You may find the "events" function a useful way of promoting your 10's and 7's tournaments. They're easy to set up, you can have invites and rsvps (if you want) and all the details appear on the front page - so everyone will hear them. Thanks for all the info!

Comment by Mark Anderson on December 1, 2008 at 3:13pm: The Southerners Sports Club is always looking to recruit new players.

I believe we have a good balance between playing serious rugby while still being a social team. We play plenty of matches each year, mostly between August and December (we have played 10 15-a-side games, 3 10's tournaments and a 7's tournament this calendar year).

From January until August we play mostly 10's rugby.

We train Thursday nights at ISB and get a free ride courtesy of the Crown Relocations mini-van, one of our most loyal sponsors. We are also sponsored by The Londoner Brew Pub which is our home base, Guinness, and Bangkok Hospital.
