In 1924, UC Davis alum Colby E. “Babe” Slater led the U.S. Olympic Rugby team to a gold medal in what would be the last Olympic rugby game for 92 years.

Veteran. Captain. Aggie.

The American underdogs scrum their way to a huge win.

First time on the pitch; last time on the pitch.

Rugby never left the hearts of its fans.

Rugby's Back.

A long legacy. A renewed passion.
