The 14th Modus Challenge Cup at Sixways Stadium

Excitement is mounting at RGS, as the 1st XV Rugby squad prepares to compete in this year’s hotly-anticipated Modus Challenge Cup. The RGS Worcester team will play against local contenders, King’s Worcester at the impressive Sixways Stadium, home of the Worcester Warriors on Wednesday 17 November.

Now in its 14th year, this annual event is very much a highlight of the school calendar, providing an opportunity for both teams to show their pace and power on the pitch. The opportunity to play at a Premiership ground is one that the players will never forget and the fixture is eagerly awaited. With no fixture played for the last two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic, unusually none of the players will have had this experience previously.

Mr Rob Lewis, Head of Rugby at RGS Worcester said: “After 18 months of no competitive Rugby fixtures due to Covid-19, it has been fantastic to witness the enthusiasm, motivation and above all else the enjoyment that the Sport has brought back to the School during this term. The Senior Rugby squad have had a terrific start to the season and with Modus being unfortunately missed last season, it will be a great occasion to have the RGS Family supporting our 1st XV team, in what will be a tremendous spectacle. We are very grateful for the support of the Worcester Warriors and from Modus, to enable the match to happen.”
