Captain's Letter 

Thank you for all of your incredible generosity. It is your support that allows us to train, travel, compete, and most importantly to have the opportunity to continue to build upon the legacy of success that we have fortunately inherited. It is our aim to continue to add to the rich history you have given us and to develop the culture of teamwork that has long formed the framework of Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby. 

Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby is dedicated to developing leaders as well as lifelong friendships. This would not be possible without the support of the entire Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby family. All of us who currently have the privilege of wearing the Diplomat Shield are extraordinarily grateful for your ongoing generosity, without which it would be impossible to accomplish our goals. We look forward to welcoming you to the Baker Campus Rugby Field to see a game this year. 

Best wishes,

William Clark '19, President, Eetu Eklund '19, Captain, and Maxim Belioglo '20, Captain

Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby Recruiting 

At Franklin & Marshall, it is possible to combine an education at one of the world's top colleges with one of the nation's best rugby programs. Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby is interested in individuals who are serious about their education and committed to becoming the best rugby players they can be. At its core, Franklin & Marshall is a MARC NSCRO Division rugby team competing with the other 21  colleges in both XV's and 7's conference championship play. Franklin & Marshall has been a dominant force in the EPRU/MARC League over the last 3 decades. The team's fall season culminates with the MARC and NSCRO National XV's Championships. The winter is spent studying and preparing for the spring 7's  season. The spring's focus is on 7's and qualifying for the NSCRO National 7's Championship in June. The season culminates with the annual DIP Classic NSCRO National 7's Championship Qualifier. More importantly, Franklin & Marshall Men's Rugby supports a wide range of individual player's goals. There are Franklin & Marshall student-athletes who are ranked among the top athletes in the MARC and NSCRO. There are also plenty of students who are simply looking for a competitive and fun experience while attending one of the best undergraduate institutions in the country. There is one major constant through our long history: the commitment to the continued development and improvement of all our student-athletes on and off the field.

Go Dips!

"Joining the rugby team here at F&M was hands down the best decision I've made at college. From all the sports I've played growing up, nothing quite compares to that of rugby. The bond everyone has with each other, even competitors, on and off the pitch is remarkable. The love expressed for this game is unmatched and there's no other program besides F&M that I would love to play for."
