The NTU Rugby Team celebrated its 70th anniversary on Oct. 24.  Joined by hundreds of past members, who are called Old Boys, from Taiwan and abroad, some now in their 90s, the team held an anniversary ceremony, banquet, and an afternoon of friendly yet intense rugby games.

Called the NTU Buffaloes, the team was established in 1946, making it one of the most historic rugby teams in Taiwan.  On celebration day, some of them donned either red or yellow shorts, representing the over-60s and over-70s categories, respectively, to show their fighting spirit on the rugby pitch once again.

Another highlight was the announcement of the newly-established NTU Women’s Rugby Team.  Known as the “Eight-Nation Alliance,” its players come from up to eight countries.  In honor of the historic day, the women lined up against their over-60s counterparts, taking home a 10-0 win against their seniors.
