Volta Rugby Club (VRUC)

Italian rugby has undergone a major transformation over the last 25 years moving from a sport played by a handful of men in a couple of Italian cities to a sport that now counts teams in all major Italian cities and can attract crowds equal or bigger than the ones who attend football events. University rugby has had a major role in the transformation of Italian rugby and the University of Pavia has one of the finest rugby union teams in the country. Further, the rugby practice grounds of the University are within walking distance from Collegio Volta. There is a very strong basis, therefore, for the development of rugby at Volta and the College aims to see a first group of students joining the University rugby truing and squad in 2013/14. The Volta Rugby Club (VRUC) aims to promote this process by broadcasting classic matches and the matches of the Six Nations Championship, arranging meetings and visits to the College by top Italian rugby players by encouraging Volta students attending major rugby games taking place in Italy.

The following students expressed an interest in playing rugby during the academic year 2021/22. The College has not nominated a Club secretary for this academic year.
