A Message from our Captain:
The engineers is one of those special groups that feels beyond the conventional bounds of a rugby club; a place where you can walk in and immediately feel like you know everyone in the room. It’s an absolute pleasure to be heading the ship for the boys this year, and win or lose you can guarantee we’re gonna have some fun doing it.
