2. History The PRFU was founded in 1999 but began with limited activities as there was only one club playing rugby, the Manila Nomads . Over the last ten years, there has been a rapid increase in Rugby Development and this can be seen in the Philippine National Team’s achievements. The first ever Philippine National team in 2004 was composed of almost an all expatriate representation except for two Filipinos Paolo Campillo and Jasper Ching.
3. History Over the years, the PRFU strived hard to have Filipino players. At present time, the numbers have reversed. This year, there were only 3 expatriate members in the Philippine National Men’s 15’s Team. The team is now comprised of both locally developed players and Filipino heritage players based overseas
