History
Created in 1978, the HKSRC are a semi-professional rugby team, and have always been. They have won the Hong Kong National League 3 times; in 1981, 1982 and 1999, but have never won the Hong Kong League Cup. Three famous players have come out of the HKSRC; Tom Shanks, an ex-Scotland A international, Damiano Versari, a current international for Namibia, and Mike Rogers, an English-Scot, who also played for Scotland A, but is now a pilot for Cathay Pacific.
