The Woodville Rugby Union Football Club, known as "The Wasps", was founded in 1933 and is celebrating its 77th Anniversary in 2010. It is one of the oldest established Rugby Union Clubs in South Australia with a proud and successful history.  Our mission is "To continue in developing the club through its juniors and seniors by providing opportunities and skills to enjoy the game of rugby. We strive to foster and create a club atmosphere where all are welcome by promoting high ethical standards both on and off the field."

The Wasps takes great pride in being a family club and maintaining an atmosphere where players, partners, children and spectators can enjoy the excellent club facilities in a friendly and safe environment. All visitors and new members can be assured of a warm and genuine welcome at Woodville and new playing members will find camaraderie, friendship and a strong supportive bond from their team-mates.

Woodville is currently fielding two adult sides – one in South Australia's Premiership League and another in the Third Division. The club has been in the Premiership League since 1936 and has always produced a strong showing both on and off the pitch. They have many first division trophies to their name. Woodville prides itself on being a multi-cultural club with current players and members from our own shores to New Zealand, British Isles, Pacific Islands and South Africa. This club has always been a stepping stone for players to further their rugby playing careers with many past and current players representing South Australia and even playing for the Wallabies.

Players seeking to relocate from interstate and overseas can, if needed, obtain advice and direction in finding accommodation and employment in Adelaide.

In 1996, Woodville RUFC combined with the Port Adelaide RUFC to form the very successful Western Vikings Junior Rugby Club. The Vikings now fields junior sides from under-8s to under-18s and the club has grown to a membership of over 100 players.

Come along and be active in a sport that is played in over 140 countries. As a family- oriented club (the club has won many awards for best Rugby ground and facilities in South Australia) we are always interested in welcoming new players of all abilities at both junior and senior levels.
