The Hamburg Exiles Rugby Football Club is a German rugby union club from Hamburg, currently playing in the Rugby-Regionalliga North.[1] The club organizes a yearly rugby sevens competition called the Hamburg Sevens.[2][3]
The club fields two teams, the Hamburg Exiles RFC which plays in the Rugby-Regionalliga North and a seeder team, the SG Exiles RFC /HSV II, which plays in the Verbandsliga North.[4]
History[edit]
The Hamburg Exiles were formed in 1966 by foreign-born players of the FC St. Pauli Rugby and Hamburger RC teams who, feeling their clubs had not shielded them from changes in German Rugby Federation rules limiting how many foreign players could be fielded during a match, decided to found a club with a more international orientation.[3]
