The Club is a founding member of the Scottish Rugby Union and has fielded thirteen full internationalists. The 1st XV finished 3rd in the second division of the BUCS Men's Scottish Conference.[1] in the 2010–11 season and reached the Semi-Finals of the Scottish Universities Conference Cup.
The team plays in black and gold, the colours of the University, and is affiliated to the Glasgow University Sports Association (GUSA).
