UWIC Women’s rugby have won the BUCS championship for the past five years, making them the most dominant team in women’s university rugby history.  Many UWIC players go on to represent their regions [England and Wales] and country [U20 and Senior] whilst studying, and these players are supported fully to perform at the highest level.
