What Does it mean to be a part of the Aggie Rugby Tradition?
| |
| |
The Aggie Rugby Club was established in 1969. Although always having a history of winning, it has made significant strides within the past decade and continues to improve. Since 1999 the team has won 7 Texas Championships and has taken several playoff trips to both the regional and national level, elevating itself above all other clubs in the state.
