The 1954 season must surely go down in the annals of the VUC Rugby Club as the most successful in its history. Three teams won their grades and a fourth was first equal, while the remaining four teams all performed well. In the club championship VUC finished second to Petonc.

The senior XV created a record for the club by winning the Jubilee Cup for the third successive season, and in so doing continued to play the Rugby that the public has come to expect in recent years from a University XV.

This year the club aims at emulating, or even improving on, last season's successes. All keen Rugby players at VUC are urged to watch the notice-board for details of team practice schedules or to contact a committee member as soon as possible—and, who knows, in a year or two You may be playing inside Ron Jarden or rucking with Bill Clark.
