About the Vipers
We're more than just a rugby club. We're a community.

In 2026, we welcomed approximately 160 registered players across eight junior competition teams, alongside Little Rugby, Walla Rugby and Social Seniors. We also launched our first U13 Girls team. As we look to 2027, we're expanding opportunities for girls and women, strengthening junior pathways, building partnerships and developing more year-round programs.
