The Circle

For over 20 years, the University of Tennessee has boasted one of the best men's rugby teams in the Southeast. The UTRFC has been a stepping stone for some of the best rugby players. Many have gone on to select sides, men's club level, Super League, and even the US team.

More important than our credentials is the fact that our team is like a family. Over the course of one player's career, he suddenly realizes that he has dozens of new brothers, whether still playing or not. On and off the field, you learn to trust each and every member of the team. We have a bond like no one else, and that's what makes us one of the best.
