Bowdoin College Men's Rugby
Founded in 1969, the Bowdoin Rugby Football Club has been a unique element in the Bowdoin community for over 30 years. Always characterized by strong camaraderie and teamwork, the Club has a strong tradition of success, having won the New England Championship in 1991 and posting 15 winning seasons and 10 playoff appearances in the past 20 years.
Bowdoin Ruggers have been selected to represent the New England Rugby Union, the Northeast Rugby Union〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bowdoin.edu/hoplite/release.jsp?id=608 )〕 as well as the All-American Rugby Team. Bowdoin Rugby's head coach – Rick Scala – has been the foundation of the club's success for the past 20 years – with an overall career winning percentage of more than 70%.
== Team Origin ==
Rugby was first played on the Bowdoin College campus in the fall of 1969 when students at Bowdoin College teamed with two former collegiate rugby players living in Portland to found the club. Among the club's founders, student John Philipsborn had played rugby as a schoolboy and talked his faculty advisor, then college President Roger Howell, into supporting the creation of the club. Howell's support persuaded skeptics in the Athletic Department to allow Bowdoin facilities to be used for practices and matches. While Bowdoin students made up the majority of the founding club players, Portland residents Jim Palmer and Ray Schonbach provided coaching and prior club level playing experience for the first few years. During those first years, Bowdoin and what would later become the Portland Rugby Football Club played together as part of the same club. Bowdoin President Roger Howellprovided support to the club by supporting the allocation of college field space and basic equipment. Until he broke some ribs doing so, Howell also played in some of the club's initial scrimmages, having been exposed to the sport when he studied at St John's College, Oxford, on a Rhodes Scholarship. By 1973, there were enough players and college support for Bowdoin to have its own team. Several of the club's founding players, including Doug Mackinnon, John Benson (who had quarterbacked Bowdoin's football team), Bill Moran, and Philipsborn went on to play rugby with various clubs for a number of years.
