History

In September 1968 a group of expatriate British rugby players decided to form a club in order to continue playing the sport in the manner in which they were accustomed back home, especially the well known after the match social aspects.
Over the next few years things developed rapidly. In 1970, the second XV was born, by 1972 the Belgian National side had been beaten and the Belgian Cup won.
In 1973, the third XV was launched and with a steadily improving fixture list they were playing with credit such sides as Coventry, Blackheath, Newbridge and Public School Wanderers.
In 1974 the Belgian Cup was won again. This halcyon period continued unabated through to the club's very successful tour of the USA in May 1978, when they played seven matches and the first XV remained unbeaten against the best sides on the East Coast.
