The Macau Rugby Union currently consists of 100 members playing the game, of whom 40 are seniors, and 60 are juniors and children. Apart from these members, the Union has another 60 supporting members.


The Macau Rugby Team can be compared to a “Physalia physalis”, the Portuguese Man-of-War (blue bottle). This sea creature is not a single animal but a colony of highly modified individuals (polyps). The polyps are dependent on one another for survival. The MRC could not survive if it was not for all the members that have made and make up the team, a multitude of nationalities that merge together to make up a multicultural united nations of Rugby.


The team has always been like a box of Licorice-all-sorts, with players from Angola, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Holland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Macau, Mozambique, New Zealand, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Tonga, UK and USA. The Macau Rugby Club is unwavering in its attempts join together this miscellany of players and basically just to do what they love best, play rugby.
