Manchester Medics RUFC is an English Rugby Union club based in Manchester, who currently play in the Cheshire (South) league of the RFU in the 2015-2016 season.
The club is formed primarily by medical students from the University of Manchester, but MMRUFC prides itself on being all inclusive with a number of doctors and non-medical students being involved in the club.
They are one of the largest, most successful and social societies within the medical school. The 1st and 2nd XV regularly play on a Saturday, as well as a competitive 'pre clinical XV' playing midweek in a North West Universities development league. The club has enjoyed considerable recent success, most notably being crowned NAMS champions for the 2014-2015 season.[2]
