Form is temporary. Class is permanent. Fitness is optional.

Play hooker/back row.
You'll never see a better sidestep in the front row. Apart from my brother, and matt champs, and maybe Keith Wood.

I'm a utility back, all bar scrum-half! I play 1st team rugby at UCL and Captained my 1st XV school team. I live in London and am around most weekends.

Pass-times include missing tackles and passes in key areas. When on the ball, this player fancies himself as a Gareth Edwards type. This is reflected by his willingness to kick penalties and conversions from anywhere on the field...
"Let me kick it!"
When off the ball, he has been known to stand helplessly out of position.
Taught Leigh Halfpenny everything he knows.

have not played for a while and would like a run about still have some drinking ability left not much of my kidneys though ..... keep in reasonable state of fitness getting on in age though !

I love beer. 

15 all the way!!! Only South African at the club!

I am a 32 year old who hasnt played for a couple of seasons and fancies having a run around again. I'll be able to commit to most weeks but there will be occasions when I'm visiting friends or family for the weekend and will not be available. Due to college commitments I will not be able to train on most Wednesdays throughout this season. unfortunately. Although competitive on the pitch I am looking more for a social game. My preferred position is 2nd row and to be honest there's not much point in putting me anywhere else as I lack the pace for the back row and am too tall for the front row. I have heard of the club from my friend and ex university team mate Danny Farren.

prop forward, tight head.

I'm Grrrreat!

Wing / Full Back

Left Bene's in 2007...Play in the back three mainly on the wing can play centre aswell

Position: Wing, Fullback

OP in 1960 - 63 after 2 years in the First XV at St B's. Played for a few good teams around the world and against them too! Was an international Ref. for several years - mainly in Argentina and S. Africa. Helped spawn the sport in the USA in the 60's by starting the Catalina 15 a-sides in California and the Providence RI Rugby Club in 1968.

Matthew "Doyley" Doyle was always destined for greatness. Subjectively, he would argue this was achieved when playing for the U11's at the tender age of 9, however the more objective commentators at the Club claim they are still awaiting even the slightest glimpse.

Age - irrelevant.

Position - subject to change

Height - above average

Weight - below average

Signature Move - The Windmill

Most likely to be heard saying - "Miss one"

1997 Old Boy. Following a prolonged & revitalizing period in the rugby wilderness / pie shop I felt the need to put down that pie & pick up the boots again. I would rather play back row - but unfortunately due to being genetically inflicted with extreme medium pace I will probably end up in the 2nd row.

Getting old and fat and would quite fancy a couple of run outs in the back row somewhere

I am a 27yr old backrow / lock forward, I have played for a few sides now - Old Blues,Kings College Hospital, Nomads, Kilburn Cosmos, GWR so bit of a wanderer but living in Ealing now and looking to have a few more years of good rugby!
Huge fan of Dog the Bounty Hunter, german pornography and milk.
Love the social too and nothing I enjoy more than beering and touring / being arrested - should know better at my age but don't.

Can play anywhere in the backs - not fussed!

Left St Benedict's in 2006. Not played too much rugby but up for it. Play on the wing and love a bit flair. Like going out, drinking, making shapes, 7s etc.

Left Bennies in 2006 as a 2nd XV player. Utility player when fit, normally there to make up the numbers. Best attribute of my game is the boot, but as a forward its rarely used. Love getting stuck in the rear of a ruck, or putting my hands in places i shouldn't. Aspire to become the George Best of Rugby, spending my money on booze, birds and fast cars, and then wasting the rest.

Preferably wing or full back, but has been known to pop up in the centres from time to time. Doesn't mind filling in at second row either against pony oppostion.

Left in '84 and had a great crack playing OP rugby for a few years. Delighted to see the relaunch and hope to play while I still can.

Left Benedicts in 1992.
Play anywhere in backrow

Just starting playing again after 12 years of inactivity. Previously played for Pontypool RFC in the Welsh Premier Division. Estate Agent in Paddington. Married with two kids.

1998 Leaver

LAD

I am a fun tough nut person. A fun guy and very family orenatated person

Once upon a time I was a wing/fullback

Left Benedict's in '07 and play in the back three

Been playing backrow mainly for University but played second row for School. Just finished my English Lit. degree at Manchester University.

I play hooker or backrow, and i see myself as an Jason Robinson esque impact player just lacking slightly in endurance and pace. My inspirations are mainly Maggie and Christina, we can all dream

Flanker, left school in 2000, Mostly play rugby for the showers afterwards, love getting soaped up with the lads.

Old Boy St Benedicts School

The more athletic of the O'Connell brothers; a bit like Carlos Spencer, only less pace and skill

Old Priorian Medalist. ( 1979) Played 30 yrs for LIRFC, 1ST XV & VETS. Great to see you have restarted with new web site link. Still Playing Old Priorian Vets Rugby & have represented us in Rome & Frascati 2005, with Messers Cassali & Dr Hopley.

Prop

left st benedicts in upper sixth in 2007. currently at royal holloway university. playing uni rugby at the moment. wanting to play for old priorian.

Dabble around the forwards.

Another of the incredibly talented Locks which OPs seems to specialise in producing. Will is in many ways the 'thinking man's' second row, and is as likely to be found with his nose in a copy of Voltaire's Candide as humiliating opponents with his airborne dexterity in line-outs, or making game changing breaks at key moments in the face of apparently overwhelming opposition.

Currently taking an Open University course in Esperanto - "kaj kial ne?"

I'm currently writing up mu PhD at Durham University but I will be based in London from October. I'm also a professional DJ and shall be providing the soundtrack to many a rugby montage for the team...
