School Overview

Cardiff Met RFC run 12 men’s sides and two women’s sides which is very important to us in order to make sure that no matter what ability we have a level appropriate for people to play:
•         4 on the weekend – 1st team WRU National Championship, WRU 2nd team and 2 x East District teams
•         8 on Wednesday – BUCS Super Rugby to BUCS 8
This means over 200 playing opportunities a week during term time. Over the last year we have had players move onto professional contracts with the Blues (URC), Dragons (URC), London Irish (Aviva Premiership) and Cornish Pirates (Championship). We have had numerous players signed to WRU Premiership and National 1 in England alongside their future careers. Leaving with a good academic degree is very important to us. Recent graduates include Tom Pearson https://www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/-uncomplicated-and-exceptional-tom-pearson-bucs-super-rugby-s-latest-graduate/31947.htm, Alex Dombrandt https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/england-would-be-crazy-not-to-look-at-the-dominator-alex-dombrandt-vr0sf32s9 & https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-6536501/Harlequins-rookie-Alex-Dombrandt-taken-Premiership-storm.html & current student Max Llewellyn https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/giant-son-former-wales-captain-14292577 both of whom played in for the BUCS Super Rugby side in 2017/18. Recently Aaron Wainwright who was a full time Cardiff Met player and student has transitioned to the Dragons squad and Wales culminating in a pretty impressive World Cup 2019 showing https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/playing-football-manchester-united-starlet-14669572. We also have a number students graduating in the form analysts, hub officers, coaches and S&C coaches. Work based learning is an integral part of the how the club operates.
