A Little Bit About Us
 

Saigon RFC was formed in 1992 by a group of expatriates keen to welcome visiting teams and tour the region participating in regular tournaments. Over the years it has grown but essentially the objective has remained the same, and the Club regularly welcomes touring sides, and competes in such tournaments as the Bangkok 10s, Phuket 10s, Angkor10s, and the Indochine Cup.

The Club is run on a small budget by volunteers who focus on maintaining a very social atmosphere, both on and off the field. The SRFC has both a Ladies Touch side, "The Saigon Boas", and a Mens contact team, "The Saigon Geckos". In 2007 the club formed "The Dirty Geckos" which is a mens contact side for those over 35 years of age. These teams are made up from both Vietnamese nationals and expats from around 15 other nations.
